$200,000 in five days: That is the most recent fundraising goal former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen (D-Madbury) has set for her supporters.

"Why five days? Because June 30th is the last day we can accept contributions for this reporting period," wrote Shaheen's finance director Louisa Whitney in an email to supporters. "Why $200,000? Because that's how much John Sununu's Washington attack machine is spending on negative attacks on Jeanne Shaheen."

Jeanne Shaheen's finance director has e-mailed supporters with a last minute fundraising effort to raise more money.

Louisa Whitney said the campaign has set a goal of raising $40,000 from online supporters, in April.

"We need to be ready to counter the negative attacks when they come. We have set a goal of raising $40,000 online in April to build our defenses," the e-mail said. "We are almost there. With two days left, I hope you will make a contribution today. Your money will pay for lawn signs, television ads, radio ads, and more."
