Impressive numbers, but money won’t buy this seat. Nobody ever doubted that Peggy would be outraised by Perlmutter. EMILY’s List will start their national mailings soon and Peggy will have plenty of money to be on television.
Peggy has broader appeal with actual voters (who can’t write $4,000 checks). Democrats love an underdog!
Scoop has it nailed, Peggy has much broader-based appeal than Perlmutter, at least here in the 2d CD where she has lived most of her adult life. Plus Republicans won’t forget the help she gave Owens in the last electio, so she will get lots of crossover votes as well.
“Peggy has much broader-based appeal than Perlmutter, at least here in the 2d CD where she has lived most of her adult life.”
Wow, Henry… If Peggy is so popular in the 2nd CD, I guess she is a shoe in to win there huh?
Henry,
Peggy may get crossover votes in the GENERAL but that does her no good in the PRIMARY which is where she will see her downfall. Also there is no way that Peggy has a broader appeal with 7th voters because she is new to the district and has no real roots here. There is no chance that I would ever support Peggy over Ed. NONE!
I personally still get a chuckle over Peggy Lamm … is she running as a Democrat? You cannot find the word “Democrat” on her web site — even in her biography.
Is she ashamed to be identified as a Democrat? Well, she probably should be considering the wimpiness of the Democrats currently holding seats in the House of Representatives.
I’m Green and proud of it … there’ll be no coyness from me. And no PAC money keeping me from representing the best interests of all the people of the Seventh Congressional district.

Oh, the irony!
I spoke with Rubenstein tonight at Drinking Liberally.
My whole write up is over at SoapBlox Colorado.
The part that relates to fundraising is a ballpark number that Herb gave me for Q4. Although he says that the full accounting is not in, he thinks it should be around 20k for the quarter.
Dave Chandler – you must not really keep an eye out on how things are really working. Most people are taking parties off of websites and signs and such. It is a way to not lock yourself into party and let people talk about the issues.
I think Peggy has more chance to win this seat than ED. 1 he is tapping out his fundraising base in the distric. ( being that he is taking all the money for favors if he wins) 2. Ed does not connect with people, he is flat and comes off as another joe who thinks he has earned the seat.
Ed is weak, Peggy needs to work on her speaking but is much better than ED. Herb needs to stop and go find more public policy work where he is good at.
Chandler,
What Demanator says is true. I also wish more Democrats would stand tall and call themselves Democrats, but in a state where unaffiliated voters outnumber either party, it’s not smart politics to label yourself. Republicans do the same in Colorado.
Peggy and Ed (and Herb)…it’s nice to have choices. I actually like Peggy, but I don’t vote in CD-7, so ignore me.
Ok, this makes me laugh…
“Republicans won’t forget the help she gave Owens in the last election, so she will get lots of crossover votes as well.”
Do you know just how hard she and her campaign are scrambling to distance herself from Owens and her support of him? She has to get through the primary before “crossover” will do her a bit of good, and having Republican support only makes her look like a weaker Democrat.
