Musgrave Back At It

Again, The Wicked Witch of the Eastern Plains is getting on board with the Marriage Amendment. Marilyn Musgrave has become a co-sponsor of the Constitutional Amendment to define marriage.

Despite the fact that this thing has no hope of passing. Musgrave couldn't get the support in a do-nothing, Republican-controlled Congress. She has no hope in the current Congress. She's not that stupid, so we have to assume that doing this helps her in two ways. First, she'll be able to raise money from the hateful religious right. Second, it will likely help her shore up support in hateful Weld County.

It'll cost her some votes in the plains, where voters are more concerned with their farms and their lives than they are with the "issue" of gays. But, it won't cost her enough to make a dent.

Remember, at the end of this race, the entire thing is going to come down to asking who can win Weld County. The Witch is, after all, still a Republican running in Weld County, and that's good for a lot of votes.
