The Author of the "Federal Marriage Amendment is in deep, deep trouble. There are a lot of good candidates out there who deserve are support in defeatring odious Repubs, and I have another one to add to our list.
Remember Marilyn Musgrave?
She's the Colorado Republican who's nasty politics keeps saving her from Dem challenges. Things may be at an end for the author of the Federal Marriage Amendment though.
The Democratic campaign for Fort Collins businesswoman Betsy Markey, a former aide to Sen. Ken Salazar, said a poll of 400 likely voters in the Fourth Congressional district shows her leading Musgrave, R-Fort Morgan, 43 percent to 36 percent, reports Monte Whaley.
"It's so surprising not just in terms of us being up, but to also be up by 7 points," said Anne Caprara, spokeswoman for Betsy Markey. The early edge, they say, shows that the incumbent is ready to be toppled.
Musgrave supporters, however, said it's much too early to count her out.
When you have supporters saying "it is far too early to count her out" you know that they are running scared. The challenger is a former staf member for Senator Ken Salazar, but is unknown in the district. What does that mean? That means Musgrave, losing against a relatively unknown and losing is in DEEP trouble. I am going to give a few bucks (what I can afford) to Markey, and I think we should get a little Kos love to her.
