The Daily Dun — guest star, Julianna Smoot
George —
We got outraised last month, and not by a little bit.
Part Two of getting outraised is getting outspent. That translates into a potentially devastating sweep of negative, misleading messaging that’s going to flood the airwaves in swing states — over and over and over — until November 6th. It’s already started, and it’s only July.
Will you make a donation of $4 or more to help close this gap?
How this election plays out will define our democracy: Can super PACs and hundreds of millions of dollars from Republicans and the Romney campaign — through the brute force of negative advertising alone — drown out millions of voices?
Or can the politics of inclusivity [sic] — asking supporters to chip in $5, $10, $25 at a time — keep the margin close enough to win?
Please donate $4 or more today to close the gap:

Deputy Campaign Manager
Obama for America
Julianna Skinner Smoot and Lon Barton Johnson were married Saturday in Northport, Mich. The Rev. Thomas H. John Sr. performed the ceremony at the Northport Indian Mission United Methodist Church, where he is pastor.
The bride, 44, is keeping her name. She works in Chicago as a deputy manager for President Obama’s re-election campaign. Until March, she was the White House social secretary. She graduated from Smith. She is a daughter of Edward B. Smoot and Julia L. Smoot of Willow Springs, N.C.
The bridegroom, 40, is a partner in TVV Capital, a private fund in Nashville that invests in small and midsize manufacturers and other companies, chiefly in the Southeast …
The canvas e-mails from the swells shown in the pages of the New York Times’ wedding section is so not cool.
The husband of the fund-raiser is a partner in a junior league Bain.
Could the machine choose people who aren’t just more shoeshiners for the 0.1 percent and the forces of national entropy?
