Udall vs Schaffer is going to be an epic fight
Are you being sarcastic? I really think there is about an 80% chance of Udall winning against Schaffer.
Are you really a Republican? Or is this schadenfreude for you, pure and simple? Because your own state is irrevocably blue do you gloat in the demise of red states?
Do me a favor...ask anyone on this forum if Keystone Phil is really a Republican. Ask anyone. No one can call me a RINO so do me a favor and get to know this forum a little better before you say stupid stuff.
By the way, kid, my state isn't solid Dem so get a clue on that as well.
Schaffer is a weak candidate and Udall is a powerhouse. I'm not a "self hating Republican" because I can recognize the obvious.
Ultimately, I hope I am wrong. I hope I have to look like a complete ass when it comes to this prediction when all is said and done in 2008 because I want to keep the seat. Don't think that I am rooting for the Dems to pick up Colorado.
"Powerhouse?" Udall, a powerhouse??? Why do you say that? He's a lifetime congressman from the state's most liberal district? That's like rolling out the representative from inner-city Philly or something and putting him up against the rep. from Scranton. The Philly guy has to convince the whole state that he's not an uber-liberal lifetime politician. But the Scranton guy is folksy, relatable, likeable, well-known, conservative, and is not a lifetime politician. Even in blue Pennsylvania I would give the edge to the Scranton guy. In Colorado--more conservative than PA--why wouldn't you give Schaffer the edge?
That's a pretty awful example since Scranton is a solid Dem area. Any Republican elected there would have to be a brilliant politician. Schaffer would be equivalent to someone from those wacky counties in the center of the state.
