Yesterday's other fundraising event

Marilyn Musgrave wasn't the only Colorado politician raising money yesterday. I just got a release from Colorado Democrats Executive Director Sherry Jackson that read in part, "Yesterday President Bush came to Denver in an attempt to prop up vulnerable 4th Congressional District Representative Marilyn Musgrave, delivering a speech in which he clung stubbornly to his failed Iraq policies. But because of her extremist views and neglect of the real needs of her district, just 36% of 4th district voters are likely to re-elect Musgrave, one poll has found. Musgrave was in good company with the president, who faces a 58% disapproval rating among Coloradans, according to another poll. Last night over 100 people gathered at the Blair-Caldwell African American Library in Denver to celebrate our Democratic Women Leaders, who unlike Marilyn Musgrave have helped make a real difference for Coloradans. Congresswoman Diana Degette, Senate President Joan Fitz-Gerald and House Majority Leader Alice Madden all delivered remarks, as did Congressman Mark Udall."

The part of the email that reall caught my eye? The announcement that New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson will be in Denver on December 9. Rumor has it that Richardson is thinking about a presidential run in 2008. Check out the Colorado Democrats' homepage to learn more.
