More coverage of the attack job ads being run agains Mark Udall from The Rocky Mountain News. They write:
Udall campaign spokesman Mike Melanson called both ads false and misleading. Melanson said Udall at one time was one of 44 sponsors of the Department of Peace bill. He withdrew his sponsorship after becoming "uncomfortable" with some of the details of the bill, including the $8 billion price tag, Melanson said. On the drilling issue, Melanson noted several other countries are benefiting from oil exploration off Cuba. As for Roan, he said Udall's opposition to drilling there is garnering support among the state's hunters and sportsmen.
Jennifer Duffy of the bipartisan Cook Political Report in Washington, D.C., said the ads exploit Udall's biggest vulnerability: being branded as a Boulder liberal. It's a label that will hurt Udall more than if Schaffer is branded as a Fort Collins conservative, she said. "Typically in races like that in Colorado, Republicans have emerged fairly successfully because it comes down to suburban voters," she said.
