Fat Lady Warming Up in CD-3

The campaign of Republican Scott Tipton in CD-3 has never really been able to get off the ground, and if the Q2 fundraising reports are any indication, Tipton's efforts at unseating Rep. John Salazar are basically done.

Tipton raised just $109,341 in Q2, for a total cash on hand amount of $204,993. Salazar, meanwhile, raised more in Q2 than Tipton has in the bank period, bringing home $226,633 for a total cash on hand amount of $1,255,711.

In Grand Junction, Old News is New News if the NRCC Says So

The Grand Junction Sentinel's resident right-wing "reporter" Gary Harmon dutifully reports Rep. John Salazar's denunciation of Howard Dean's months-old website listing Salazar as a supporter of the public option:

A Web site operated by former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean claims U.S. Rep.John Salazar, D-Colo., as a supporter of the public option for health care.

Republicans pounced on the characterization, and a Salazar spokesman sharply renounced it.

"Republicans Pounced?" Not so much.

Salazar Responds to Ad Against Climate Change Vote

by: Colorado Pols

Tue Sep 08, 2009 at 16:06:28 PM MDT

As The Colorado Independent reports:

U.S. Rep. John Salazar Friday responded to a League of Conservation Voters TV ad campaign blasting him for voting no on the Waxman-Markey climate change bill by defending his record on green jobs creation and criticizing the bill for its potential economic impacts for Colorado families.

"I have a strong track record of creating green jobs and investing in renewable energy both in Colorado and across the nation. I am very proud of that record," Salazar said in an e-mail response to the Colorado Independent. "While I strongly agree the issue of climate change must be addressed, this specific bill would have placed a disproportionate financial impact on individual households in Colorado's Third Congressional District and, for that reason, I could not support it."

Salazar, a blue-dog Democrat from the largely rural and agrarian Western Slope, is the brother of Interior Secretary and former U.S. Sen. Ken Salazar. He has taken a pounding from green groups for being the only Democratic member of the Colorado delegation to vote against the bill, which passed by a scant 7-vote margin of 219-212 in June. The Senate will take it up after the August recess.

The ad challenging Salazar's vote began running last week, and is a good example of how progressive groups are becoming less afraid of going after Democrats who have been not-so-supportive of certain progressive ideals.
