Democratic strategist James Carville talked tough in a recent email: "We're gonna have to go through hell and high-water to win this damn thing." According to Carville, is to donate more money to the Democratic group. His email didn't mince words in rallying democratic supporters to President Obama's camp.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - "I wish I had good news for you," Carville begins the pitch. "I want to tell you that President Obama has a second term in the bag. I want to tell you that the Koch Brothers are giving up their plot to buy the election," Carville wrote.

"But here's where things really stand: We're gonna have to go through hell and high-water to win this damn thing. It's gonna be hard. Every big-oil billionaire and Republican Super PAC is throwing the kitchen sink at President Obama.

"If we don't fight back, it'll be over long before November."

Carville then ends the email with a plaintive request for campaign contributions. "Contribute $3 or more to back up President Obama with a Democratic majority. Get your donation in today and it'll get matched .

"Every dollar we can muster will go straight to the front lines -- organizers on the ground and ads on the air hitting Republicans where it hurts.

"You're with us, then give what you can today -- C'mon now!"
