D-Trip, Pelosi Step Up For Markey

  • 29 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

UPDATE: The DCCC’s latest hit:

As the Fort Collins Coloradoan reports:

Democratic congressional candidate Betsy Markey will run out of money for television advertising this week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday in a donation plea to Democratic donors.

Markey campaign manager Anne Caprara confirmed the campaign is experiencing cash flow issues as it has tried to match the television advertising of incumbent Marilyn Musgrave but expressed confidence Markey would raise the money needed for extensive advertising over the last three weeks of the campaign.

“If we don’t act now, in just 72 hours, Betsy will no longer be able to afford television ads, just as national Republicans are moving in to help Congresswoman Musgrave stay on the air,” Pelosi said in her e-mailed plea for donations.

Caprara said the Markey campaign has spent almost $1 million so far on an aggressive television advertising campaign, even though the campaign knew it couldn’t match Musgrave’s fundraising.

“We’ve remained competitive with (Musgrave) on TV every week since she went up,” Caprara said.

She said the campaign has already begun to see results from the fundraising plea from Pelosi, who also hosted a Denver fundraiser for Markey last week in Denver…

The negative tone of the campaign will probably escalate this week, with both the National Republican Congressional Committee and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee scheduled to begin expensive advertising campaigns as early as today.

This is being spun by the Musgrave camp as Markey “on the ropes” and “running on empty,” but everybody’s getting down in their reserves three weeks before the election–and a nationwide appeal from Nancy Pelosi is certain to bring in the coin Markey needs. The ‘if we don’t act now’ rhetoric is designed to instill the recipient with a sense of urgency, true, but it’s a pitch as old as The Juiceman.

    1. to continue running ads up until Election Day, it won’t guarantee a loss, but that is one of the worst mistakes a candidate can make.

      You have to go hard on TV all the way to November 3rd. Musgrave will, so that means Markey has to as well.

  1. Lying cost money and Markey’s lies have been the biggest.  Bow out now–the new TV programs are debuting and we don’t need any more Markey crap poluting the airwaves.

    Sit back and wait for the lawsuits throwing out all of ACORN’s fraud.  

      1. Thor became a blogger at ColoradoPols at the wee hour of 3:50 AM this morning, AND HE’S STILL HERE – lets all give him an enthusiastic round of golf claps.

      2. He’s not going to be here long enough to learn grammar.

        But hey, we should give a hearty welcome to today’s Newbie Troll.

        Welcome, Newbie Troll. I’d state your name here but you won’t be around long enough for any of us to remember it.  

    1. you will learn that this blog is entirely extreme left wing. ANY words against ANY blessed Democrat is akin to treason to America to these mental midgets.
