"Jennifer Raiffie, who served as Tom Tancredo's communications director when he entered last year's gubernatorial race as a third-party conservative candidate, ... believes McInnis has now been publicly exonerated. ... Tancredo entered the race the plagiarism allegations were made against McInnis because he felt conservatives had lost a viable candidate." Raiffie suggested that the "Post" should now subject to an ethics investigation. "I’m happy for Scott and his family that his name can now be cleared," Raiffie said. "The "Denver Post" did a job on him with this story during the campaign. Their unfair and incomplete/biased reporting cost him personally and professionally. The "Denver Post" did a disservice to us all in Colorado and should be investigated by Ethics Watch … like that will ever happen."
