Colorado Megathread: Buck-ing the trend

[Maxwell]

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 dubbed you Mark Uterus."

The Hill writeup. Final debate's Thursday.

I'm sure the Mark Uterus moment is the only one people will hear about, along with his claim that he's the last person President Obama wants to see.

[Maxwell]

Udall isn't "reasonably popular", he's at 39/52 approval.

Wow really? Is it just Obama-induced backlash against the (D) brand or something about him specifically?

Maybe his campaign has caused people to sour on him.

[Maxwell]

Dems say Udall's internals show a tie after a consistent 2% lead last month.

Excellent news!

He can't name three books he likes immediately???!?!?!?!?!/!?!

RATINGS CHANGE:

CO SEN: Toss-up >>> Safe R

If someone asked me my top three anything, I'd probably sit around and contemplate because, guess what, I have a lot of favorites and things I like. I mean, he probably could've prepared better, but this is nonsense news to me.

There are plenty of other real screw-ups in the Mark Udall re-election campaign to pick through.

[Maxwell]

I was more amused by him affirming that Common Core was good or bad for Colorado.

Yea, I was amused more by that too. He should've had a coffee beforehand.

[Maxwell]

The three books and a song thing obviously isn't a big deal but actually saying "We can re-tape this later, right?" and "I'm brain dead today" will probably get replayed a bit.

oh yes i re-watched it and noticed that.

[Maxwell]

Lol that is an awful ad. Just adds a little room to the Great Gardner's margin.

[Maxwell]

Mark Udall's new ad hits Cory Gardner on, you guessed it, personhood.

I'm not sure how he doesn't get this. He's run this attack into the ground, got a high powered drill, and then dug deeper. Pathetic.

If they're running it, it's effective. I think I trust Udall's campaign manager over some teenager on a web forum.

It sure is... at getting Gardner's numbers up
