So What’s Up With The Dodd Campaign?
Earlier today the Chris Dodd campaign sent out this email that’s got me scratching my head:
Tim,
I made a few small changes to your email draft — you’ll see them below.
Would have sent to the entire list myself, but I could only figure out how to send this test.
I know you’re concerned about sending another fundraising email, but we’re only $40,000 short of hitting our November goal, and that money will help keep us on the air and talking about ending the war in Iraq and the Constitution. And honestly, our supporters online are so terrific and have come through for us every time.
Plus, with votes on the war and retroactive immunity coming up, our leadership will help keep the pressure on other presidentials to keep their word.
Ask people to give at this link so we can track the goal publicly.

Thanks,
Sheryl Cohen
Campaign Manager, Chris Dodd for President
Below this was a typical html fundraising email.
So was someone having a bad day? I don’t think that’s the case. Reread the third and fourth paragraphs real quick. Doesn’t that sound a little verbose for an internal communication? In any case this was an email that shouldn’t have been sent.

I tried emailing Tagaris because we’ve corresponded a few times but it bounced back. I thought the same thing – it wasn’t cutesy – it was spam – it came into my junk inbox, which doesn’t happen with most campaign stuff, and it had no subject line – that always bugs me. I’ll let you know if I hear anything – but I have no idea either.

TechPresident has a post claiming the Dodd campaign has acknowledged that the “email was not a mistake”.
