{First, a cheap plug for my blog Senate Guru.}

Expert strategist Dick Wadhams tells the national Republicans how it’s done:

“Defining the terms of the debate early on is terribly critical,” said Dick Wadhams, chairman of the Colorado Republican Party. In the 2008 cycle, Wadhams hammered now-Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.), labeling him a “Boulder liberal.”

Though Udall went on to beat ex-Rep. Bob Schaffer (R-Colo.), the label showed up in countless news stories about the race. “The headwinds were just too strong and nothing cut through,” Wadhams explained.

Dick Wadhams showed “Boulder liberal” Mark Udall what’s what, I’ll have you know.  What ever happened to “Boulder liberal” Mark Udall?
