Marilyn Musgrave sighting! (sort of)

POLS UPDATE: The Fort Collins Coloradoan has the story. Marilyn Musgrave is alive! And concedes defeat! In a robocall! To Georgia!

Here's the audio: http://www.coloradopols.com/up...

In her first public comments on her re-election loss - made in a mass phone call to Georgia voters - Rep. Marilyn Musgrave blames her defeat on "leftist special interests" who "smothered the truth with vicious attacks and lies."
Musgrave's remarks came in a so-called "robocall" that went out to 200,000 Georgia voters Monday and today on behalf of Sen. Saxby Chambliss, a Republican who was forced into a runoff with Democratic challenger Jim Martin. The election is today.
"Hello, I'm Marilyn Musgrave. Until last month I was the congresswoman from Colorado," Musgrave said in the call, which was paid for by the Susan B. Anthony List, a political committee that supports anti-abortion candidates.
"Leftist special interests from around the country poured money into my district to defeat me. They overwhelmed us with money. And they smothered the truth with vicious attacks and lies.
"We are seeing the same pattern in Georgia. Pro-abortion radicals and liberal activists won't stop until they have a chokehold on our government. You can stop them with your vote. It's too late to change the results in Colorado, but on Tuesday you can cast your vote for Saxby Chambliss."
Musgrave has made no other public comments since shortly after vote totals started coming in the evening of Nov. 4...
The incumbent didn't make the traditional post-election appearance to thank supporters, and never conceded defeat or called Markey to congratulate her. Musgrave has declined all interview requests since the election.

We're, pardon the pun, speechless. Original post follows.

While she still has yet to concede her defeat in CD4 or even thank her volunteers, Musty is back on the campaign trail....in Georgia.

She recorded a GOTV phone message for Saxby Chambliss on behalf of the Susan B. Anthony List Candidates Fund, according to this press release.

You can't make this stuff up, I swear.

Ridiculous

She can campaign for Chambliss, but can't even write a letter to her constituents or supporters thanking them for all their hard work? Let alone concede the election to Betsy?

When you look up classless in the dictionary, there should be a picture of Musty.

Plus, why is the NRSC using her at this point? Is she really that big of a celebrity among the far-right that having her robo-call people would do anything?

Maybe she should move to Georgia...

I hope Chambliss...

does as well in his re-election as Musgrave did in hers...

Breaking news - Chambliss loses

last minute deciders overwhelmingly point to call from Musgrave as their deciding factor.

Kind of weird she had to use a robo-call to Georgia voters to concede the race.

She doesn't even know why she lost!

If special interest ad spending was the only reason, it would have placed her at least closer to Markey on election day (not 12 points behind.) There was over $3 million spent by special interests, and it wasn't just Tim Gill and Progress Now.

No wonder she lost.

She lost because her supporters were lazy, shiftless and stupid

That's apparently what SHE believes since she hasn't even bothered to thank them for their efforts.

There are probably some very pissed off FORMER

CD-4 conservative republican activists and supporters. I am betting more than a few of them won't volunteer again for years, if ever again.

The proud legacy of Musty.

An idea

since she has somewhat more respect for Georgians than Coloradans perhaps she should go ahead and move down there.

Save me from the pro-abortion radicals

What does it take to become a pro-abortion radical? I understand anti-abortion radicals resort to protesting and, sadly, sometimes bombing, but what do pro-abortion radicals do? Protest the maternity ward?

Sorry

that was a lame attempt at a joke. Once I hit "post" I regretted it.

But...

it does make it clear how lame the idea that anyone is "pro abortion" actually is.

Again, I ask

What happened to the so-called party of "personal responsibility" that many of these Cons claimed to be a member of?

What a hypocrite.

I like that she is targetting a race
