Political Spam Today: Romney and Warren Pile On….

Today’s spam take: seven spam emails from one presidential campaign, one senatorial campaign, and our old friends the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). The DSCC, DCCC, and MittRomney.com are really pumping it out today. :/ Mailings from the DSCC, DCCC, and ElizabethWarren.com are blocked by SpamCop, a major blocklist. So far MittRomney.com has escaped listing on any widely-used blacklists, but if the spamtrap hits continue at this rate, that won’t last.

Seen before 4:00 PM Pacific Time, in the order of receipt:

<xxx> – Give me 30 seconds, and I’ll let you take a peek into my mind.

It’s a simple numbers game. Control of the Senate will likely come down to a single seat. If Elizabeth Warren loses her slight lead in Massachusetts or Todd Akin wins in Missouri, the Republicans take over the Senate.

If we can keep this momentum going, we can replace Boehner and Cantor’s Tea Party majority with a Democratic House for President Obama.

Now, we have to close the spending gap.

Friend,

It’s been great getting to know Paul Ryan and his family — they really are wonderful people.

But just like my dad, Paul’s not an easy guy to catch up with these days! He’s on the road 24/7 and working harder than ever to win this race.

<xxx> – Today, there are 12 Senate races polling in the margin of error-and Democrats are projected to lose the Senate by a single seat.

If you care about President Obama’s agenda-healthcare reform, access to contraception and a woman’s right to choose-you must work to ensure he has a Democratic Senate.

Friend —

Scott Brown is getting desperate.

With 41 days left in this campaign, Elizabeth Warren is up or tied in 5 out of 6 of the most recent polls. She had a strong performance in the first debate. And she just received the key endorsements of Boston Mayor Tom Menino and Senator John Kerry.

Thank you,

Mindy
