Except in the information age. Talk about lack of transparency in government.
Markey’s campaign was floundering.
Markey’s mishandling of the attacks by Musgrave turned the momentum around. These revelations if handled well by Markey might turn things back in her favor. This is not only a close race but a hot one with charge after new allegation filling the air.
If Musgrave loses who will be the Republican candidate in 2010? Can anyone stop Bob Schaffer if he wants to go back to Congress. Schaffer has no chance of beating Udall but is still well liked in his old Congressional District.
First, we have to see if Shaffer wins the Senate race and Musgrave wins the House.
In the event both lose, It’s ludicrous to think Republicans would nominate a two-time loser over up and coming guys like Cory Gardner — and even sillier to think Schaffer would want the job.
So certain are you?
[/yoda voice]
We mean Schaffer wanting the job, of course. He’s said his biggest mistake was the term limits pledge.
Give such bucks oil companies do.
with your reasoning, I do…
I see no way that Schaffer wins a Senate seat. The latest scandal probably cooks Musgrave’s goose.
So many Republicans, Ken Buck, Cory Gardner, Scott Renfro and Marc Hillman want to run for Congress. Would they challenge Schaffer in a primary in 2010? Schaffer seems to love politics and power more than making money.
Speaking of Markey. What exactly is inaccurate in the claims made by Musgrave? If she is found guilty of the law Musgrave accuses her of violating she faces up to five years. The same law by the way that Senator Ted Stevens is on trial for violating.
You can bet that if there was anything real, absolutely anything, that the Bush Justice Dept would be having a very public “investigation” of Markey right now.
This “investigation” isn’t even one, it is at the urging of partisan hacks engaged in the middle of a campaign, and it is going nowhere. No charges will even be brought.
Ted Stevens – having your Alaska chateau renovated entirely for free in exchange for favors or influence absolutely hands down is ten times far more serious than Syscom being listed as a woman owned business on some government document.
Get real.
Plus if representative Musgrave is found guilty of murdering JonBenet Ramsey she could go to prison for life. True Story!
That sums it up precisely colo76.
Damn, we need an investigation. Find out the facts and report back Nov. 5.
To release the commercial first though, cause who needs facts when you have an investigation.
We hang first, schedule the fair trial later.
BTW, this is also beginning to hit next door, where former USDA Secretary and former Governor Johanns is running for the Nebraska Senate seat against Scott Kleeb.
You’ll note Johanns’ name in the Federal Department Heads For Musgrave list above.
According to the report’s appendix (which Colorado Pols drew its info on Musgrave from), Scott Tipton had one administration visit on the government’s dime. He still lost.
Bob Beauprez had two visits. He still lost.
And “ethics” candidate Rick O’Donnell had eight (Secretaries of Commerce, EPA, HHS, USDA, VA, Energy, and–twice–Education). He still lost.
http://oversight.house.gov/doc…
Sen. George Allen (R-VA) had four visits from administration officials.
In case you don’t recall, he also lost.
I don’t think this has traction with average voters.
It’s “inside baseball” stuff.
Now if somebody goes to jail sometime in the next 18 days, maybe it will be important to the election.
But we all know that’s not going to happen.
Great story, great scandal, no legs.
What’s the maximum penalty for violating the Hatch Act? Multiple that by four, since she violated it four times, and let’s run negative attack ads with black and white pictures of Musgrave behind bars saying “she could face up to 20 years in prison…”
any takers?
