DENVER, May 15 (UPI) -- Former Rep. Bob Schaffer, R-Colo., yanked an ad for his U.S. Senate campaign because an image meant to show Pikes Peak actually showed Alaska's Mount McKinley.
Left-leaning bloggers had a field day with the TV ad, which was supposed to highlight Schaffer's commitment to Colorado, The Denver Post reported Thursday.
"To Schaffer, who came here from Ohio, all mountains probably look the same, but Coloradoans with common sense know better," wrote Michael Huttner, director of ProgressActionNow.org, the newspaper reported.
Schaffer is running against Rep. Mark Udall, D-Colo., for the seat being vacated by Republican Sen. Wayne Allard, who is retiring. Udall began running an ad this week that emphasizes his support for renewable energy.
