Markey-Musgrave race in Colorado attracts big outside bucks: “Musgrave campaign manager Jason Thielman said much of the independent spending is driven by the incumbent's support of a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman. He said that's led wealthy gay-rights activists, particularly Denver philanthropist Tim Gill, to spend millions of dollars against her in the three most recent elections. ‘The radical homosexual movement driven by Tim Gill hates Marilyn Musgrave, and they are willing to spend anything and everything to settle their vindictive agenda,' Thielman said.”

OUT: Jesse Oxfeld on gay reporters on the campaign trail “It's a job that requires you to have some of the attributes of a loner — few commitments, an ability to pick up and disappear from your life — without having the personality of a loner.
