Gilibrand raising money off Rudy, Pataki

New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand sends a fundraising pitch to Democrats, warning about a potential challenge in 2010 from either Rudy Giuliani or George Pataki.

(Rudy's been clear he's not running against her, much to the chagrin of state party head, Ed Cox).

Highlight:

Recently we have learned that they are recruiting high profile figures like Rudy Giuliani and George Pataki.... We are 39 hours away from a major filing deadline. Rudy Giuliani and George Pataki are going to make their decisions based on how much money we raise.

You’ve stood with Kirsten before, and I thank you for that. We’re just $45,000 away from reaching our goal. $125,000 of grassroots money will make Giuliani and Pataki think twice about taking on Kirsten.
