With Vice President Dick Cheney in Littleton Wednesday for a private fundraiser on behalf of U.S. Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, Democratic opponent Betsy Markey is trying to make some money off of the visit, too.
Markey's campaign sent out a fundraising e-mail Wednesday attempting to tie Musgrave to the unpopular Bush Administration.
Cheney's visit was anticipated to spark an outcry from liberals seeking to make such a connection.
"Unfortunately, this is just another loud and clear signal from Marilyn Musgrave that she continues to wholeheartedly endorse the disastrous policies of the Bush - Cheney administration, as she has for the past six years," the e-mail stated. "A single event with Dick Cheney will bring thousands of dollars into Marilyn Musgrave's campaign. Dollars that will most certainly be used to distort and attack both my record and positions on the issues in ways that may very well make Karl Rove blush."
