This short item from Newsmax tells us that, yes the Democrats are worried, as they should be. The VP pick of Paul Ryan has energized the Republican base and we are seeing more contributions to the Romney campaign as well as big crowds at Romney events.
A new fundraising pitch from the Obama campaign shows rising concern over the crowds being drawn by team Romney-Ryan.
Paul Bedard writes in The Washington Examiner’s Secrets column that an email went out from Obama’s Chicago re-election headquarters about the “disturbing report” that a North Carolina rally with Mitt Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan drew 15,000.
“There’s no spinning that number. It’s a LOT of people, and the Republican base in energized. And that’s not all. Since the VP announcement, Romney’s campaign has brought in over 70,000 donations from his Tea Party base. We’ve got to step up our game and mobilize our supporters — starting right now.”
