Here’s a tough email I got from a respected expert:
I know it’s not good to be all publicly gloom and doom. But your speculations on the Romney v. Obama race are totally pie in the sky. In my professional opinion, this race is already over, with Romney going down in Bob Dole fashion. Show me a “moderate” GOP presidential candidate since Eisenhower to win the presidency. (I would grant George H.W. Bush, but add that he was riding Reagan’s coat tails. And capitalizing on having the worst opponent in modern presidential elections history, save possibly McGovern.)
While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
