The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee reserved $630,000 in TV advertising for Angie Pacciones bid to unseat Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave in Colorados 4th Congressional District, but has apparently pulled the money.
If this isnt the final nail in Angie Pacciones political coffin, its pretty close, Musgrave campaign manager Shaun Kenney said in a press release.
Coming on top of the poll earlier this week showing Marilyn Musgrave leading by 10 percentage points, it is clear that national Democrats have completely given up hope for Angry Angie.
Paccione was recently named to the DCCCs coveted Red to Blue program, designed to funnel cash to their strongest candidates.
Pulling more than a half million in advertising is a blow to Pacciones campaign, which has raised $1.3 million so far.
UPDATE: A published report (OK, thats a cheap way of saying The Other Paper) quoting an unnamed staffer at a Denver TV station says the DCCC hasnt pulled the entire $630,000.
Well keep checking. The DCCC money only reserved air time. It didnt guarantee it would be spent.

Mort and Nina on the Fox AllStars were using this particular race among others as proof that the dims were going to "ride a wave" to Victory in November. Mort said the attitude in America STINKS! He said Americans are unhappy. I do not see any of this on the Mississippi Coast... none at all.
Other polls are starting to show momentum that assuredly is underway. We will maintain majority control and things may work out better than just holding on. Brit even was forced to bring up the fact that these polls are skewed heavily to dims, and he also said that either the polling companies learned something from 2004, even though the actual voter turnout does not show a weighting to dims, or things are actually better for Republicans.
Fred actually said he thought all of the National polls were bogus, including the flawed NPR poll which had more positives for Republicans than negatives.

This is a good sign. I'm more confident that Musgravge will survive, and it won't require a recount.

The fact that we're having to worry about such heavily Republican districts at all is very troubling.

I was told this news earlier today by someone from the office of the Boulder County Republicans (yes, there are a few). There have been huge smear campaigns against Marilyn Musgrave for months, it is hard for me to believe they are giving up!
Sorros has put out a lot of money to defeat Marilyn Musgrave and I doubt he will give up, even if the DCCC does!

That is true. Musgrave is damaged by the perception that she is a gadfly who is so obsessed with social issues that she neglects constituant service and local economic development.

Can you imagine the nightmare if the 'Rats take Hefley's open seat, knock out Musgrave, take Beauprez's seat... that would leave only Tom Tancredo as the lone GOP House member from the state.

That sounds like a Holloween posting to me!
Things are looking somewhat better in Beauprez's seat, but the 'Rat still leads. But that Hefley's seat is in play at all is cause for alarm.

Hopefully all the negative stuff is losing its effect.
Soros can still waste his money but his new lies will not have an impact.

she is strong proponent of National Right to Work Law. Just one more reason I love her and I'm glad she is my Congresswoman!

I've never thought she was going to lose. I was in DC over the summer and I stopped in her office, her aids were all nervous and said how close the race was.
I basically said don't sweat it. They didn't listen, but I'm pretty sure I'm right.
