Trailhead attacks McFayden, Ritter and anybody else who happens to be standing around
Bill Ritter is kicking so much ass, covering the governor's race is beginning to bore me. Check out his latest fundraising numbers at ColoradoPols or in the Gazette, for instance.
Fortunately, there are other other things to write about, like the Trailhead Group.
Trailhead is Colorado's version of The Enquirer. The GOP-backed 527 spreads rumors so silly, I can't believe anyone takes them seriously. Like its latest whopper about Democratic HD47 representative Buffie McFadyen. From the Chieftain:
Rep. Buffie McFadyen's campaign is considering filing a criminal complaint against a GOP political action group over a series of negative ads denouncing the Democratic legislator for voting for fee increases.
Trouble is, none of the measures actually do that, and at least one of the so-called fee increases that The Trailhead Group is citing actually was a penalty increase for motorists who exceed the speed limit in construction zones...
This isn't the first time someone has wanted to prosecute Trailhead. For several months, Democrats have been frustrated by our Republican attorney general's refusal to enforce Colorado law.
Unfortunately, things will get worse before they get better. Trailhead has already set its sights on resurrecting Both Ways Bob's campaign, which will at least be interesting to write about. And a national-level PAC named FreedomWorks has CD5 nominee Jay Fawcett and CD7 nominee Ed Perlmutter at the top of its hit list.
You expect the 527's to go after the governor's race and CD7. But the fact that they're throwing money at CD5 and state-level races says a lot about just how panicked the GOP is right now.

TSB,
That makes me ill. The stolen footgage. The carnival music. The subject matter. The way it makes light of an accident. It's sick. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I don't know what to do about it. The Ritter people could sue for copyright infringement. But its probably best to just let it go away.
Trailhead going after John Morse down here too.
Can't have an actual Democrat representing anyone in El Paso County, can we?
Sounds like Owens is going out with a bang.
