Dick Morris: If you hate Harry Reid as I do, send Sharron Angle money

That's the pitch in a fundraising missive from Morris, under the Americans for New Leadership rubric, that will curl your toes:

Reid v Angle Update

Dear Friend who Hates Harry Reid as Much as I Do,

When we last communicated about the Nevada race, Harry Reid had pounced on Sharron Angle as soon as she won the Republican primary and, using his vastly superior campaign war chest, had run negative ads accusing her of wanting to "phase out" Social Security and Medicare.

You answered my appeal for funds to rebut this harsh negative and we have been able to run upwards of $300,000 to do so due to your donations!

While Reid's negative ads turned the polling around from an initial 10 point Angle lead to a 7 point Reid lead, our rebuttal has killed Reid's lead and the race is now statistically a dead tie!

Without your help, Angle would have been lost.

Now its time to go over to the offensive!

If you want to get rid of Reid, please donate again (or for the first time) so that we may amass a war chest to give Angle back the lead, this time for good.

Our average donation has been $100, but please give more if you can and less if you want. We need help urgently. Reid has millions on hand. But with intelligent use of our resources (which I promise you I will do) a little money can go a very long way in defeating him.

Thanks and stay tuned.
