In branding Scott McInnis "McLobbyist," left borrows from right's playbook

Scott McInnis has been positioning himself for a political comeback since at least last year. Note that in October, McInnis prematurely pissed on the GOP's grave by publicly predicting that Bob Schaffer would lose to Mark Udall in the U.S. Senate contest -- and adding that he could have won the seat. But his stealth campaign for the 2010 governor's office brought him into the crosshairs of organizations such as Colorado Ethics Watch, which repeatedly rapped him for refusing to make the run official. He finally did so yesterday, and in the wake of this move, ProgressNow Colorado, another liberal organization, rushed out a press release praising CEW and branding McInnis as "McLobbyist."
