Ed Pearlmutter, another Cutter & Runner

Ed Pearlmutter chose to spend $1.1 million smearing primary opponents from his own party. Now the Editorial Board of the Rocky Mountain News anxiously awaits more millions, from unaccountable outsiders, allowing Pearlmutter to get down in the gutter – again. Rather than encourage local contributors to fund Colorado campaigns, the Rocky sees advertising profits when big-time outsiders come looking to buy influence. In his first televised interview, after Peggy Lamm was defeated, Pearlmutter muttered something about a Rick O’Donnell Freshman College paper, written 12 years ago! Personally, I’ve heard Pearlmutter utter enough negativity already. Millions more spent, over the next couple of months, won’t keep the Pearlmutter campaign from sputtering out and The Rocky advocating more Special Interest spending ‘just to make things fair’ is simple self-serving.
