If anger were money, Sen. Harry Reid's opponents would be wealthy indeed. But it isn't, and they're not.
Fundraising appeals sent out by a group that launched a supposedly major anti-Reid campaign last month reveal that the Our Country Deserves Better PAC is struggling financially.
"Ouch folks, this is not too good" was the subject line on an e-mail sent Wednesday. It said only 75 people had chipped in less than $2,800 to the latest push for the "Defeat Harry Reid" campaign against the Senate majority leader from Nevada.
"We've got to do better, friends -- much, much better!" the group's Joe Wierzbicki wrote.
Another e-mail came the following day with the subject, "We've made some progress -- the update." Thanking "those of you who have graciously stepped up and made a contribution... as we try to keep pace with the fundraising efforts of Barack Obama and Sen. Harry Reid," the letter said that in 48 hours, 192 people had chipped in to raise the tally to $8,282.
A list of 32 of the 192 donors who gave $100 or more included just two Nevada names among many from California, Texas and Florida.
