As we often do when a candidate launches their campaign–just trying to be helpful, though people so rarely seem to take it that way–we were browsing around GOP CD-4 candidate Cory Gardner’s new campaign website this morning.
Only to discover that, well, it’s not really a new website.
Something tells us that ‘keeping Cory Gardner in the state House’ is, ha ha, not exactly the goal his campaign wants readers to come away with. An honest mistake we suppose, but then we started to think about it for a moment…
Who paid for the site that preceded this congressional site? You know, the real “keep Gardner in the state House” site that obviously shared resources with the congressional campaign site at the same corygardner.com? The same corygardner.com, mind you, that was registered in December of 2003 as his state campaign website? Seems like just about any way you slice this, even if he paid recently for some kind of ‘makeover’ for his state campaign website, resources originally paid for with funds for a state race just kind of made their way into a federal race, didn’t they?
We don’t claim to be the definitive authority on the relationships between state and federal campaign finance law, but our understanding is that’s a bit of a problem.

and it’s a very useful research tool. You should try it.
Main page of Cory’s site has a link on the bottom right-hand side that takes you to RootHQ.com, a site that states:
“RootsHQ is the online headquarters for conservative activists who want to make a difference in their community and across the country. ”
That leads to a WhoIS search – the owner of the domain is Allen Fuller, former Press Secretary of “Both ways Bob” Beauprez:

So, yes, that would be his mega-stupid mistake.
At some point a Republican is going to launch a campaign without either breaking the law, making a complete ass out of himself, or both, right? Amateurs.

really appreciate it

The pink color in the logo is hideous.
No one creates a website from scratch anymore. They grab whatever is closest and start editing it. So if he had the same person create this one, that is how they would have started.
You could make this a violation, but it would probably ensnare plenty of Democrats, too. You’re not supposed to use resources with value from a state race on a federal race, but there lots of other things to file complaints about. Maybe it will come to that, Tom?
They changed it right after this blog post, btw.
