As fundraising emails go, the one President Obama sent out after his poor debate performance Wednesday night was about as short as they get. Without mentioning any of Mitt Romney's statements, or challenging any of his foe's facts, Obama simply begged: "I hope I made you proud."

Friend --

I hope I made you proud out there explaining the vision we share for this country.

Now we need to go win this election -- the most important thing that will happen tonight is what you do (or don't do) to help in the little time we have left:
