I know that most people won't vote against someone just because they are a spammer, but if you are one of the ones who might, your choices are now limited. Yes, I'm sure it was really from his campaign:

Humorously, not only are they spammers, but they don't seem to understand marketing, either. Note that they sent this out a little before midnight on Monday. That would mean that essentially no one would read it until Tuesday, voting day. Now note the content of the Subject: line. Oh, and that friendly To: line.
If he wins, I certainly hope he hires better technical and marketing help with my tax dollars than he has with his political contributions.
Update. Man, the GOP marketing team is even more clueless than I thought. Today, they sent out a follow-up spam saying "On behalf of Senator McCain, Governor Palin, and all our GOP candidates, I want to extend my sincere gratitude to you for your generous support of the Republican National Committee this presidential election year." Do they not understand that more than half the people on their spam list will not have given them money, and we will think even less of them? If McCain was really the maverick that he said he was, he would disavow these obnoxious rubes.
