Corey Gardner, the leading Republican candidate to take on Democrat Betsy Markey in Colorado (a top NRCC target), today launched a very clever website satirizing eBay, www.eBetsy.com. The site details the special interest money Markey has received.
Markey took out conservative firebrand Marilyn Musgrave, who served three terms in Congress, funded in large part by independent expenditures from billionaire heiress Pat Stryker. The district has 45,000 more Republicans than Democrats and Markey trails badly with unaffiliated voters. San Diegan Chris Hansen, a veteran manager, is running Gardner’s campaign.
Revolvis launched a similar strategy targeting first-term Assemblywoman Joan Buchanan, who our client, San Ramon Mayor Abram Wilson is facing in a rematch of 2008, highlighting Buchanan’s habit of abstaining from votes, www.wheresjoan.com.
