Is Beauprez Next On The List?

[coloradodem2005]

We wrote earlier today about House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's ethics scandals having the ability to pull down Republicans in Colorado, and it looks like this is exactly what is happening in Iowa.

According to The Des Moines Register, Democrats are launching attack ads against Congressman Jim Nussle today -- the same day he announced plans to run for governor: The radio spots airing in Des Moines and Dubuque take aim at the eight-term U.S. House member's receipt of $15,000 in campaign contributions last year from House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's federal political action committee.

Considering that Congressman Bob Beauprez actually took more money in contributions from DeLay, it would seem that it's only a matter of time before the same attack ads hit here. But why the de-lay? Is it because Colorado Democrats just don't know what they are doing (the Nussle ads are funded by a D.C. group, but are likely coordinated through local politicos)? Or is it just a matter of timing? It might just be the latter, with the idea to let Marc Holtzman and Beauprez fight it out before they decide to spend money against the Congressman.
