More than anything, here is the reason the Colorado Senate race is generally thought to be over–as the Rocky Mountain News reports:
By a 3-to-1 ratio, Colorado’s crucial unaffiliated voters prefer Mark Udall over Bob Schaffer, giving the Democratic congressman a strong lead in the U.S. Senate race.
And more than half the voters said they believe Udall is more in touch with the concerns of average Colorado families, according to the latest Rocky Mountain News/CBS4 poll.
Labeling Udall a “Boulder liberal” didn’t have the effect Republicans had hoped, said the pollsters, Lori Weigel and Rick Ridder.
“Liberal is not a dirty word anymore,” Weigel said.
“It’s the Year of the Liberal,” Ridder added.
Udall leads Schaffer 51 percent to 38 percent – a 13-point difference. Only 5 percent of voters were undecided.
The poll findings are based on statewide telephone interviews with 500 registered voters last Tuesday through Thursday. The margin of error is 4.38 percent.
Schaffer’s campaign manager, Dick Wadhams, said their internal polling shows the candidates closer, but he declined to release figures…

Left, left, left, left…Boulder Liberal…left, left, left…oooooooh, scary.
we can say we’re liberals and not be worried about being chased by mobs with pitchforks and torches?
I heard someone describe them as being like the scene from the end of every Frankenstein movie when the angry mob storms the castle.
At least they’re not blatantly racist.
“Schaffer’s campaign manager, Dick Wadhams, said their internal polling shows the candidates closer” but any Udall lead between 4 points and 12 points still leaves Schaffer a loser outside the margin of error.
Indeed, if internal polling was within the margin of error, it would be released to give the GOP hope.
Where’s the other 6%?
No link, so no idea.
I guess they should have gone with Mochiata Mark, huh?
That latest “Boulder Liberal” ad with the Marching Ninjas will turn things around!
For God’s sake – why in the world does anyone hire Dick Wadhams to run anything? He’s totally incompetent.
even though he would never offer us the same courtesy, he doesn’t have control over the ads from the NRSC’s independent expenditures. That pesky old Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act biting him in the ass as it often does.
