Jane Norton had her friends at The Denver Post Blogspot printed something recently that would make Norton appear to be popular with the tea party set. They announced she is hosting a fundraiser with Marco Rubio. The Post notes:
Senate GOP hopeful Jane Norton said Wednesday she’ll host two fundraising events June 3 with Marco Rubio, the GOP U.S. Senate race front-runner from Florida, and Pennsylvania Senate candidate Pat Toomey
Both Rubio and Toomey have been endorsed by Jim DeMint. Norton was not.
DeMint endorsed Ken Buck.
The Post goes on and quotes a Norton staffer as follows:
Norton calls herself “a conservative, surrounding herself with conservatives, and will govern as a conservative,” said campaign spokeswoman Cinamon Watson.
“We are going to raise some money and talk to voters together because we’ve got a lot in common. We’re all conservatives and we’re all running to shake-up Washington, D.C.,” she said in a statement released Wednesday.
If you didn’t know any better you would think to hold the date open in Denver and that they will all be talking downsizing government.
The truth is somewhat different.
This is the same group of people recently feted at a Hedge fund fundraiser in New York City.
One quarter of Jane Norton’s fundraising last quarter came from these Hedge fund people.
There is a joint fundraising committee called the US Senate Victory Committee. Norton, Rubio and Toomey are three of the seven prospective Senators who have been receiving funds from the Committee. The Committee which was organized in January as a joint fundraising committee, distributed nearly $1.1 million in the first quarter to the campaigns of Kelly Ayotte (N.H.), Roy Blunt (Mo.), Jane Norton (Colo.), Rob Portman (Ohio), Marco Rubio (Fla.), Rob Simmons (Conn.) and Pat Toomey (Pa.)
Each candidate received between $128,000 and $172,000, according to documents on file in the Senate’s public records office.
The last fundraiser was held at the New York City residence of Billionaire Hedge Fund Mogul Paul Singer in New York. The returns were to a DC phone number.
Nothing says “Jane Norton is the DC outsider and a conservative” like a New York City hedge fund.

You have a beef with Rubio and Toomey now? I don’t see a single word, not one, of disinformation in this press release. Was this today’s talking point from the Buck campaign? Kind of weak, no?
But the truth is this is not about them showing up with Jane. It’s about a hedge fund fundraiser for 7 senators hopefulls.
You’re criticizing Norton for doing the same thing Rubio and Toomey did, but you have no problem with them? So I guess you have no problem with Norton?
A sane voice in the wilderness.
with hedge fund fundraiser, then yes, you DO have a problem with Rubio and Toomey since they are receiving contributions from the same fund, right?
The problem I have is the article would have you believe that the three of them are getting together to drink ice tea and singing around a campfire about how they can change DC, unrelated to the Hedge fund fundraiser.
The reality is there are 7 people taking money from hedge fund billionaires and they sure in hell are not looking out after my interests.
The problem is Norton trying to pass herself off as being a part of the Rubio, Toomey, tea party groups.
She is always just a tad dishonest.
How long before that hedge fund drops her?
if they drop Norton, right?
Unlike Marilou, I do find you consistent and I respect that about you.
why do you hate me?
PolitiFact.com reports that Michael Moore is right:Goldman Sachs employees gave Obama $994,795.
Out of the next 6 private donors, two are financial firms (Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase) and one law firm (Sidley Austin).

Or people who work there? Not everyone can be a career government employee like Ken Buck.
I have no problem with hedge funds, and I have no problem with anyone who works anywhere in the financial industry.
I have a huge problem with McJain Norton passing herself off as the “grassroots” candidate (even though she’s avoiding the grassroots of the state assembly), and calling Ken Buck the “insider.”
My problem is not outside money. My problem is Norton going dirty and trying to use that against Buck, the candidate who cannot be any more grassroots.
Norton’s dishonesty will come back to bite her.
Robert:
If McJain Norton wants to take 1/4 of her money from hedge funds, that’s her business.
Just don’t tell me that you are going to talk to Rubio and Toomey and meet with voters, when there is a group of 7 prospective Senators going to get campaign funds from hedge funds and none of the voters reside in Colorado.
I don’t like be lied to and taken for a sucker.
