M. Obama: Watch debate, give money

President Obama's campaign e-mailed a pre-debate pep talk tonight from first lady Michelle Obama -- along with a fundraising pitch.

Signed by Mrs. Obama, the e-mail said:

"I am so proud of Barack -- and I can't wait to see him on stage during tonight's debate.

It gives us both so much strength to know you're out there, cheering him on, building this campaign from the bottom up.

Tonight at the debate, you're going to see the guy who will always be out there fighting tirelessly for you.

Show Barack you're with him by donating $5 or more:

Thank you,

Michelle

P.S. -- There is no better time to make a donation than right now. Tomorrow is the final FEC fundraising deadline of this campaign. What we raise will have a direct effect on how hard we can push in the final weeks. Donate today -- and thanks, again."
