CD7 dirtier than a Christina Aguilera video: For purposes of comparison
Who the heck is going to win the CD7 Democratic primary? Hell if I know. The Rocky Mountain News is reporting that a 9 News poll shows Perlmutter with a big lead. The numbers? Perlmutter has 51% of likely voters in his corner, Lamm has 31% and Rubenstein has 10%, with 8% still scratching their heads.
A slightly older poll by Emily's List told a radically different story. The organization, which endorsed Lamm, today sent me a press release that claimed that as of the end of June, Lamm was in the lead with 39%, Ed was in second with 35%, Herb was in third with 6%, and a whopping 21% of voters were still undecided.
Have the numbers really moved that radically in just a month? I believe the word you're looking for is, "Ahhhh!"
By the way, when I unfavorably compared CD7 to a Christina Aguilera video, I wasn't kidding. I have Aguilera beating CD7 73% to 25%, with only 2% undecided.

Pacified,
Check the date on the EMILY's list poll and adjust the story accordingly.
E-List did their's a month ago and probably held it to respond to the independent one when one emerged to create just this sort of he-said she-said. Luckily we aren't the type of news sources that have to play into that like those hacks at... well, everywhere.
Aaron, I'm not Pacified, but on the off chance you're talking to me and you got your bloggers mixed up... I checked and the release I got indeed said these numbers are from "the close of June." I will make a note of this, just 'cause you're so nice.
Hat-tip to Colorado Confidential for pointing out this thread on Daily Kos.
Heh, sorry Spartans.
It is the standard curse. If I complain about fact checking, I get a fact wrong. If I complain about spelling, I make a typo.
I would say more but I am being distracted by steamed arugula... er, Christina Aguilera.
