An early indication of the difficulty of electing a conservative to the 4th district again showed up at the end of last week. The Fort Collins Coloradoan reported that White House advisers list Representative Marilyn Musgrave as the 5th most vulnerable Republican congressional seat. Given the close race Rep. Musgrave had in 2006 I would expect that 2008 will be very hotly contested. We can expect that Rep. Musgrave will probably be able to raise more money than the Democrat opponent, but the “527” groups funded by billionaire Pat Stryker will probably eclipse any money that Rep. Musgrave can raise on her own. Therefore it is critical to have a grassroots effort to campaign for Rep. Musgrave this time around. We really need to see Rep. Musgrave focus on the issues important to conservative voters here in the fourth district.
