Musgrave on the ropes

Angie Paccione tops $1 million raised, and now the Denver Post has a story on how vulnerable Marilyn Musgrave is.

Dissatisfaction nationally with Republicans and aggressive campaigning by a Democratic challenger have some questioning whether Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave's Colorado seat is in jeopardy.

"There is something going on. This race is now competitive," said Amy Walter, senior editor of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, which analyzes the country's congressional races. "Musgrave is vulnerable."

The report recently rated Musgrave as in danger of losing her seat to Democratic state Rep. Angie Paccione. And the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has reserved $630,000 of television ad time for the race. U.S. Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., who heads the committee, said in a recent interview that it was closely eyeing the race.
