Colorado Megathread: Buck-ing the trend

[Lief 🗽]

Debate was very similar to yesterday's, a draw with both candidates occasionally dodging or filibustering uncomfortable questions. There was also the moment when the moderator told Udall that "your campaign has been so focused on women's issues that some have referred to you as Mark Uterus."

And it's made the race Lean Sane Candidate. Keep up the good work, Mark!

Really? Basically everyone agrees this is a 50/50 race right now.

Shhh, let the Republican's think they're going to win a statewide election in Colorado.

Hillary was there yesterday helping Udall.

That's not helpful in Colorado

PPP did a poll of just women for a liberal group. Udall leads 51/40, Hick 54/38.

Should work out to a slight Hick lead and a slight Gardner lead, I think.

This probably goes down as a candidate for most disgusting/ridiculous ad ever - http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2014/10/29/co_naral_ad_cory_gardner_wants_to_ban_birth_control.html

This really better backfire.

lol yup, that's pretty embarrassing (even if the message is true... which is really the story of the Colorado senate race: Democrats poorly presenting a truthful message, and Republicans presenting their lies very well)

Some Beltway journos compared it to Aqua Buddha or Godless.

Not really comparable. Those were TV ads made by the candidate's campaign. This is a radio ad made by an outside group.

Of course the media has been incredibly biased against Udall/for Gardner for most of the campaign, so you can't count out the possibility that they'll blow this out of proportion.
