EMILY's List endorses Lamm

EMILY's List, an organization dedicated to electing pro-choice women, endorsed Peggy Lamm in the Democratic primary for CD7. Prior to this, Ed Perlmutter was the Democratic front runner to take on Republican Rick O'Donnell. Coloradopols and Soapblox are already covering this story. So I am not going to dwell on it. But an endorsement from an organization that powerful reshapes the race quite a bit.

Meanwhile, the Republicans in CD7 have their own problems. Party honchos were trying to keep the field clear for O'Donnell, who lured Cheney out to Colorado for a fundraiser a few weeks back. But the Denver Post reports that uber-conservative Jefferson County Treasurer Mark Paschall is challenging O'Donnell in the party primary after all. I'm glad to see the Dems won't be the only ones blowing money in the primary.
