Martha Robertson's fundraising cloud just won't go away in her challenge to Republican Tom Reed in NY-23.
Robertson raised funds based on the claim that
GOP operatives were caught trying to take down her website during a critical fundraising period. She never has come forward with any proof, and
broke her promise to hire a forensic computing investigator to find the evidence.
The local media is becoming increasingly frustrated with Robertson's dodging the issue,
as we mentioned yesterday.
Today Robertson was named to the prestigious "Red to Blue" list by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, as reported in the
Buffalo News:
Martha Robertson, the Democrat who's challenging Rep. Tom Reed, R-Corning, this fall, got a big boost Monday when the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee named her to its "Red to Blue" program -- signaling that she's one of the top Democratic House challengers in the country.
The Democratic campaign committee selects challengers for the Red to Blue program when they've shown strong ability to raise funds, build a campaign and present a credible alternative to voters.
