I just received this email from Paul Begala, with “Wingnuts” as it’s subject:

Dear Greg, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin love ‘em. That’s all you need to know. The weepy, creepy Fox News conspiracy theorist can hardly contain his passion for Rand Paul. The half-term governor of Alaska can see failed CEO Carly Fiorina in the Senate from her front porch. I follow these campaigns for a living. I know Rand Paul wants to close down the entire Department of Education and abolish the Federal Reserve. And as a CEO, Ms. Fiorina was the queen of outsourcing, laying off 18,000 Americans but taking a $42 million payout. We can make sure Dr. Paul, Ms. Fiorina and other right-wingers are exposed. We can call them out, push them back and ensure that President Obama’s legacy doesn’t end in a bin marked “what could have been.” How? Support the DSCC. It must raise $304,002 in the next 7 days to keep Beck’s and Palin’s acolytes far away from Washington. It’s only six months until Election Day. Time to fight back.

One, does raising money using Fox News actually work? And two, the DSCC is worried about California? It’s going to take a lot of cash to buy ads and such to defend what should be a safe seat.
