Comfortable that Udall is a Lock, DSCC Pulls Out

From The Denver Post:

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee will cease television advertising in Colorado by Tuesday, according to state Democratic sources, a signal that the national candidate committee believes U.S. Rep. Mark Udall is comfortably ahead of former congressman Bob Schaffer in the race for Colorado’s open U.S. Senate seat.

The DSCC instead will put its resources into competitive races elsewhere as the party tries to secure a filibuster-proof, 60-seat majority.

In polls released last week, Udall, D-Eldorado Springs, had opened up double-digit leads over Schaffer, apparently helped along by the recent financial meltdown.

Hey, maybe the NRCC is pulling out of CD-4 because it thinks Marilyn Musgrave is a lock, too. Just not the same kind of lock.
