Over at Colorado Confidential, read about [1]some not-so-desperate housewives who have been contributing to Republican Rick O'Donnell's campaign for CO CD-7. These are women like Nancy Anschutz, wife of Phil, former chairman of Qwest; Christine Monfort, wife of Dick, an executive with the Rockies, and Margaret Reisher, wiife of Roger, founder of FirstBank.

Also check out this flap [2] between the candidates, in which Democrat Ed Perlmutter accuses O'Donnell of violating campaign finance law by attending a fundraiser organized by an insurance agency. Arthur Bushell, owner of Bushell Insurance Agency, sent out invitations bearing the State Farm company logo. Uh oh.
