Comcast pulled ads that were critical of Republican Rep. Matt Knoedler and paid for by Clear Peak Colorado. From the Rocky Mountain News:

Republican candidate Matt Knoedler claimed victory today after Comcast decided to stop airing an ad from a Democratic group that alleged he voted against a landmark illegal immigration reform bill.

Knoedler, a GOP state representative running for the state Senate, had voted for the final version of the bill. “I feel vindicated,” the Lakewood Republican said.

The Colorado Clear Peak, the Democratic group behind the ad, says it will go back on the air with a revised commercial.

Clear Peak spokesman John Willard said the new ad “more accurately reflects” that Knoedler is not a leader in immigration reform.
