Perlmutter and DeGette on stem cell research

CD7 nominee Ed Perlmutter is leading off the general campaign with one of the ads that won him the primary. Let's hope that Perlmutter's positive message resonates in CD7. The National Republican Congressional Committee has announced it plans to spend 90% of its $50 million ad budget on negative ads, according to The Washington Post via Colorado Confidential.

For posterity, here is the ad. You can see my smiling face in the bleachers six seconds in.



Perlmutter's ad mentions stem cell research, an issue that has been championed by CD1 congresswoman Diana DeGette. Yesterday, DeGette launched a new website design for her PAC, the Stem Cell Action Fund. Check it out.
