CD-7 Line Update.

[coloradodem2005]

We didn’t make any changes to the Governor Line, as everything seems to be status quo for the moment. The big changes happened in the CD-7 Line. Here’s what happened…

The big change is that State Representative Morgan Carroll appears likely to get in the race. Carroll is well regarded by core groups of Democrats, such as organized labor and the Be the Change wing of the party, and if she can raise the money she is a dynamic enough candidate to stand out in a crowded field.

We’ve said before here that we thought former State Senator Ed Perlmutter could have trouble getting serious help when he starts picking up the phone for support, and it sounds like rumors are already flying. Here’s a good example of what we mean:

Some of you might remember the attack ads Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave ran against Stan Matsunaka in both of the last two campaigns in CD-4. The ads carried the tagline “Real Coloradans Pay Their Taxes.” Those ads received a lot of criticism for the blatant racial overtones in how they depicted Matsunaka, but the tagline was based on an incident that relates to Perlmutter.
