Yeah, I know: there are already a few threads on this topic, but there's a twist to this one.

Rep. fears \"radical homosexual agenda\"

The twist is "that software entrepreneur." Although a Google seach for Coloradans for Plain Talk comes up, to my great surprise, empty-handed, I am absolutely certain that the software entrepreneur could only be Tim Gill, the founder of Quark Express. Tim Gill is an avid snowboarder, and in fact, he backs OutBoard, a site of interest to gay and lesbian snowboarders. OutBoard member Fluffy the Snowboarding Wonder Dog sends me an e-birthday card every year.

When he's not snowboarding, Gill runs the Gill Foundation.

The ads are hilarious and I tip my hat to Tim for taking on Musgrave.

In addition to outboard.org, Tim is also behind connexion.org which is a great "friendster" type service. And, it is a great resource for political activism while remaining nonpartisan. Well worth checking out and joining.

I wish I could find online streams of the anti-musgrave ads. They are put on by a group called Colorado Families First, and yes, Tim Gill is one of the Governing Members. Although I don't like this type of 527 advertising, they are funny and creative.

Ad #1- As described above, A woman who made to resemble Musgrave walks up to a casket at a funeral, looks around and then proceeds to steal the watch off the deceased. She drops it into her purse and walks away. The narator is telling of a bill Musgrave supports that allows nursing homes to continue to charge you for the remainder of the year even if you die!

Ad #2- She sneeks up behind a soldier in a fire-fight and picks his wallet out of his pocket, then she takes what money he has and drops the wallet and sneeks away. The narator is describing her vote to not increase the combat pay for those serving in Iraq.

These ads are funny. And made even funnier by the over sized ass they put on the Musgrave actor, and she almost looks like a guy in drag. Musgrave is threatening to sue the local stations for running the ads saying they are slanderous. Whatever, the stations said they will not stop the ads.

I say that if the Republicans are going to run this stuff (Swift Boat Veterans for Perjury) then good for some Dem groups to fire back.

One other thing in the new recently I thought was funny.

Musgraves 2002 site hijacted

It's now a porn site...lol

The woman is out of her mind...

(Btw, Colorado Families First has changed it's name to Coloradans for Plain Talk.)

Do any of the Coloradans on the Board have any polling info on this race? Does Matsunaka have a chance?

As mentioned in another thread, I have been working closely with the Matsunaka campaign. The early poll numbers showed a dead heat. This is significant since she beat him in 2002 72%-28%.

Stan is encouraged, but I have not seen any new numbers in the last month.


Good article from last June
