Markey launches second ad in 4th District blitz
Fanning the flames in an unusually competitve 4th District challenge to three-term Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, Democrat Betsy Markey announced Wednesday morning she will begin running a second TV ad this week.
Musgrave runs against Bush in a very special campaign ad
The Musgrave campaign unveiled a TV spot Wednesday that depicts a young girl — an actress, presumably portraying the young Marilyn -- who sheds a glistening tear down her cheek after a voice chronicles her "hard times" growing up. The 4th District Republican then touts her work "with Democrats and Republicans" against President Bush's proposed cutbacks to Medicare and veterans benefits. The 30-second ad, her first in this campaign, doesn't mention the fact Musgrave is a Republican, but does show her flanked by Democrats Mark Udall and Ken Salazar — who, until recently, employed Musgrave's Democratic challenger, Betsy Markey.
Vets group slams Musgrave in TV ad
A group of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans on Tuesday unveiled a TV ad critical of 4th District Republican Marilyn Musgrave's vote on a pay bonus for combat veterans. The 30-second spot has already been running heavily for a week on Denver channels and is part of a $1 million campaign by VoteVets.org to "[expose] the records of public officials on veterans and military issues."

Markey touts economic plan, biz experience in new ad
Betsy Markey has YouTubed her first video spot in CO-04, and despite its weird rock and roll-y soundtrack, the ad hits the mark. (According to the Markey campaign, they hope the upbeat, twangy music will help draw a strong contrast with her GOP opponent, incumbent Rep. Marilyn Musgrave.)
Energy concerns reign at Markey-Salazar town hall
