I was under the impression that the fundraising objectives for the quarter were achieved. What becomes tacky is continuing to post these notices (including Jimbo's appeal letter) after the objectives have been reached and the pre-determined fundraising period has ended. If someone miscalculated the needs, they should be adjusted next time around.

Only putting it on watchlists and recent changes would exclude anons and certain newbies, which is good for arbcom elections but not for fundraisers. A lot of funds comes from people who find Wikipedia useful, but don't edit themselves.
I don't consider it begging. I'm sure they'd be more upset with constant adverts instead of occasional fundraiser notices.

Well, current appeal could be called "begging". As Mav explained already, we are far from having enough right now to fulfill our first trimester needs. And we finished the year on our reserves. So, "begging" makes sense.
