38. Did they ask for more?

Yeah, we've all received urgent pleas for campaign donations based on polling data that shows they are down, hence the need for more money.

The next time I hear, "we're up big in the polls, no need to contribute more, everything is going great as is!" will be the first.

More informative would have been for you to relay to us what their plans are going forward, given that we don't need polling to tell us that it's going to be a close race regardless. If they are worried about the polling as you and others seem to be, what significant changes are they going to be making in terms of their campaign to successfully assuage those fears and have better showings in the polls?
