Uh, RememberIraq, Be The Change hasn’t endorsed anybody, and that’s from the horse’s mouth.
Remember folks, Herb Rubenstein will personally be able to bring home all the troops as a freshman Congressman. Just keep believing that and don’t pay attention to anything else, right?
Here’s a better idea: don’t latently support O’Donnell by buying into Herb’s easy rhetoric.
Change is going to come from Democrats winning elections, not crowd-pleasing promises from a candidate that moved into the district from DC last year just because he thought he had a chance at winning in such an evenly drawn district.
Perlmutter supports the Murtha plan, and he’s against the war. The Herb people can spread bad information on the internet until their fingers are raw, but it will never erase the fact that any support for Herb just helps O’Donnell at this point.
Ohh, Remember Iraq, let me guess. Could it be that some of the Be the Change members actually live on our very own planet and want a candidate with a chance to win in November?
Herb Rubenstein is against the War in Iraq and will vote to bring our troops home by July 2007
Peggy Lamm and Ed Perlmutter say nothing about Iraq on their websites or in public.
Herb is for real health care reform. The others have no plan for health care. How in the world can be the Change endorse anyone but Herb?
I checked with the Perlmutter campaign to see their take on this, and they also said the report was false.
Bad week for Coloradopols. Kerr, and then this.
Oh, and about Peggy and E-List.

I don’t have the time to do the math, but it looks like in their March disclosure they had about 20k or so earmarked for Peggy, so it is nothing to sneeze at considering what other flows it creates, but it is not as big as a Cheney fundraiser.
The truth of the matter in all of this sound and fury is that Be the Change has in fact not come to any decision as to whether or not to endorse any of the candidates for the Colorado CD 7 seat. We are still in the deliberative process. I am unsure of the source of this information, but I can assure you that it is incorrect.

Poor, poor Peggy. She should drop out and help Ed, I guess.
Be the Change is going to be spending most of there time helping there former ED anyways.
Wow, they endorsed “Anybody But Peggy”
What is that, a ‘neg-dorsement’?
What is it with the Peggy supporters and all the exclamation points? I count three in Mitch’s first post.
Hey, Peggy’s odds are a hundred to one right now! Nobody knows why she’s still in the race!
I already see this getting spun by the Herb folks as “The race is down to Perlmutter and Herb, vote for Herb, he’ll personally end the war.”
Here’s a thought; Ed is the only one with any real endorsements (aside from Emily’s List, and a lot of good that’s done Peggy. $800,000? Okaaay), real fundraising, and he’s actually got a professional campaign that is capable of taking on O’Donnell.
If Herb and Peggy are so serious about taking back seats from the GOP then maybe they’d let their egos step aside and support a candidate with a real shot at winning in November.
I have just been told by a member of Be The Change that this report is false. I can’t give more specifics at this point, but noone has been endorsed by BTC.

Again I ask the voters – How is Peggy going to change Washington when she can’t even figure out how to change her address?
Would this home address you speak of also be the same apartment that is her campaign office? Maybe we should we checkout how many days she actually spends at this ‘home’, this reminds me of Both Ways Bob that never was at the house he claimed he lived at in the district either. Also pointing out that this is a blantant violation of campaign laws. This all is just too complicated for poor Peggy, she needs to quit and keep from embaressing herself and the Democratic Party.
I’ll take Herb over Peggy any day of the week. Why not the best?
I never said that Unions, and local leaders were not important, I’m responding to be the change, when they endorsed two people who are running Against eachother!
Wow, pretty impressive job there!
Peggy’s got a lot going for her, and her home address is such a non-issue with real voters. She will change Washington, and she will be a valuable asset to our Democratic team out there!
And yet will all that money from Emily’s List Peggy still couldn’t figure out how to change her address.
How is Peggy going to change Washington when she can’t even figure out how to change her address?
Peggy’s got the best endosement with Emily’s List!
This better be a good endorsement because it seems to be the only one she has. And $800,000 Mitch? While that would be quite impressive I have a hard time believing it, especially from the #s we’ve seen so far. I’d much rather have the multiple endorsements Ed has…Unions, local leaders, etc. THOSE will make the difference against O’Donnell.
OOOOO diss by Mitch…quiets the crowd…PEGGY, PEGGY, PEGGY, PEGGY
BTC – 800 people who can make phone calls
Emily’s list – $800,000
Be The Change endorsement means nothing! in fact, its a good thing Peggy didn’t get it, BTC is a meaningless group of disaffected people who have no strategy to help anyone’s campaign! They don’t even know that an endorsement means choosing one person!
Peggy’s got the best endosement with Emily’s List!

I’d sure like that meaningless, disaffected group working for my campaign. They seem to work pretty hard. And there are more BTC’ers than EMILY’s list members in Colorado.
Does Peggy have any other endorsements? EMILY’s list is the only one she lists on her website. (And Herb and Ed weren’t eligible for their endorsement anyway, at least not without a sex-change operation.)
Sheesh Mitch, That’s about as scathing a comment as I’ve ever seen on this site. Did you have a bad experience at one of the BTC events?
BTC does have quite a grassroots army in Jeffco. I must disagree with you in that they cannot help anybody’s campaign. I bet Perlmutter will welcome the grassroots help in the months before the election. Calling, walking, stuffing envelopes… you know Mitch, those things that help campaigns.
Interesting data to add into the mix.
Perlmutter just got the AFL-CIO endorsement.
800,000 members in Colorado.
EMILY’s list has about 2,000 very active and important members in Colorado, and I won’t try to compare the two endorsements, but getting the AFL-CIO endorsement probably makes this count as a another good day for Ed, and another painful day for Peggy.
I agree the AFL-CIO endorsement is important, take back, but they don’t have anything like 800,000 members in Colorado. I suspect you’ve confused that number with the number of people in union households–i.e., households in which at least one person is a member of a union. That, too, is a very important number but it does include some children who can’t vote. That correction notwithstanding, the AFL-CIO endorsement is the single most important factor in a Democratic primary, bar none. Labor brings experienced organizers, phone banks and other assets. They’ll kick ass at the 7th CD assembly and I think that sound you just heard was the door closing on the chance of either Lamm or Herb making the necessary 30 pct to make the ballot, a quest Lamm, of course, has already abandoned.
Peggy is a good lady, but this isn’t her year and she’d be wise to get behind Ed and sing Kumbaya.
I agree with Mitch that Emily’s List is a more important player than BTC, but turning Peggy’s endorsement from Emily’s List into $800,000 is a stretch. Peggy has a lukewarm endorsement from Emily’s List and so far no money and no major endorsements from people who count in the district. I’d trade Emily’s List and BTC for all the union endorsements Ed has received.
There is no endorsement on the BTC web place…I can offer a few observations…BTC had visable banners when i went to the Denver Anti-War rally and march…I happened to be with about 20 others in 2004 at Baker M.S. where we used our phones for several hours for a then unknown Morgan C…in 2004, on the day after I was handcuffed in the backseat of a DPD patrol car at Speer and University Mike and at least 30 others were at the same intersection. BTC is the viable progressive force in Colorado at this time..BTC bashers tend to be those that believe we need more “Electable Ken’s” reprsenting the Colorado Democratic Party. P.S. ..2 days after the announcement the BTC site came out supporting Feingold and urged folks to contact Allerd and “Now and then Ken”..

This is the most hypocritical thing BTC could do. The endorsement of one candidate over another during the primary is the reason the BTC formed to begin with.
If BTC endorses anyone at all it just proves how power corrupts. BTC now perceives it has lots of grassroots power. So now they turn around and do the very same thing that was the impetus for their creation in the first place.
This is absolutely shameful!
