ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Sen. Hillary Clinton sent supporters this Web video today, along with a note reminding them she needs their help to fight for the Democratic nomination.

"If we have the resources to compete we are going to do very very well," Clinton says in the appeal. She also notes the campaign has not met its $3 million goal I blogged about last week. The ticker counting up to the $3 million is gone from her Web site, though her spokesman said this morning cash flow was "good."

Here's her note:

You have spoken loud and clear over the past few days with a tremendous show of support. Your actions are drowning out the voices calling for this race to come to an end, and I am truly touched that you are so committed to our campaign.

Now we have just a few hours left before our midnight fundraising deadline. This is our last chance to show our strength in the midst of the onslaught from our opponent who wants this race to end before millions of Americans have their say.

Together we are going to keep fighting and winning. But first we need to show that we have the resources to compete vigorously in the upcoming races, and I'm depending on you for that support.

I wish you and I could share some of the experiences I'm having on the campaign together. But I recorded a special video message for you on the trail recently, and I hope you'll take a look.

Click here to watch the video and make a contribution to show our strength by our critical midnight deadline. Even as little as $5 can make a difference.

We're just short of reaching our $3 million goal by the end of the month -- your contribution could be the one that puts us over the top.

Thank you so much for all you have done and continue to do -- on to victory!

Thank you for everything,

Hillary

Team Clinton said her fundraising is still strong, especially online, but obviously not as strong as it was at the beginning of the month, when she met a $3 million goal in 24 hours.

On a side note, maybe it's just the video quality, but Clinton doesn't sound like herself in the sit-down portion of her video. Her voice is strained, but not in the same way as when she had throat issues during the most strenuous days of the campaign. (Sen. Barack Obama had his share of vocal chord problems.)
