In Jane Norton's latest e-mail sent out by Josh Penry, she(he) talks about how Ken Buck is anything but an outside.
One point I find interesting...
"Outsider? Ken Buck was the best man in Bill Ritter's wedding."
Not sure how the Norton campaign sees this as relevant to Ken Buck's ability to be an effective conservative in the Senate. If anything, Norton shouldn't be the one to attack on that point. May I remind you the dozens of large corrupt lobbyist firms and individuals pulling the strings and funding her own campaign?
Just so you know the facutally challended Norton camp can't get it straight. Buck was not the best man at Ritter's wedding. It was the other way around. Either way the Norton camp is now just making stuff up.
ReplyDeleteNorton the outsider, Buck the insider. FEC shows Norton with 355K PAC money to 0 for Buck. Here's the invite and list of people throwing outsider Jane a fundaraiser on
