Colorado: Red meat for Republicans

•  
• by: H-man

Think Colorado incumbent Democrats in DC are safe?  The Republican establishment sure doesn’t think so.  

In the last week there has been signifacant support thrown into the Colorado Senate race and in two more congressional district races.

On the Senate front, the NRSC has sure made the Dems hope for a rift between them and Buck look silly.  Guess what state saw their first TV buy?  That’s right Colorado.  Guess what state is seeing the first Club for Growth TV ad?  Right again, Colorado.  Think Bennet being down 4 points with only 3% undecideds in the latest polling is about to change? http://www.rasmussenreports.co…

Here is the new Club for Growth ad:

On the Congressional front Scott Tipton in CD-3  http://www.redstate.com/hollyo… and Ryan Frazier in CD-7 http://www.frazierforcolorado…. , each of whom have polling showing them leading the Dem incumbent, join Cory Gardner in being named “Young Guns” by the NRCC.  This will likely result in them receiving an infusion of approximately $400-500K to help level the playing field.  The National Republican party sees Colorado as a significant pick-up opportunity.

The Senate race  http://www.centerforpolitics.o… and CD -4  http://elections.nytimes.com/2… have already been moved into the lean republican category by national forecasters.  ColoradoPravda on the left?  The Dems continue to lead.

What is up for the weekend?  There is another debate in Colorado Springs between Ken Buck and Michael Bennet.  The 40 second highlight of the last debate is below:
