Watch the Denver comPost start digging around. If he pulled a girl's pigtail in kindergarten, then that'll be headline news.

The first Rasmussen Reports look at Colorado’s likely 2014 U.S. Senate race finds that it's a dead heat.
A statewide telephone survey of Likely Colorado Voters shows incumbent Democrat Mark Udall with 42% of the vote, while his leading Republican challenger Cory Gardner earns 41%. Five percent (5%) prefer some other candidate in the race, and 13% are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The survey of 500 Likely Voters in Colorado was conducted on March 5-6, 2014 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 4.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research,

“Now if he can stay on-message and not fall into a trap.”
Exactly. But you know the media will be laying traps for Gardner at every turn. They will cover up for Udall at every turn. Hopefully over 50% of the people will be smart enough to see through this.
Udall is truly in trouble.
Some well placed ‘Kay Hagan-style’ ads will finish Udall off.
that’s exactly right. Gardner is an unknown quantity, but Udall is a sitting Senator with an even more famous last name, and he’s pulling just 42. He’ll have a hard time bringing that up 8 points
I hope the people of eastern Kalifornia (Colorado) keep in mind which party supports gun rights and which party doesn’t
13% undecided and only 42% for Udall. The only way Gardner looses is if he does something stupid. The 13% undies will break at least two to one for Gardner.

Udall has name recognition...”The son of U.S. Sen. Mark Udall has been charged with breaking into a home and cars after allegedly using heroin.”

“Now if he can stay on-message and not fall into a trap.”
Yeah, I think Cory is too smart to let that happen.
I’m pretty new to CO but based on what I am hearing, I agree with you.
Having Udall complain the day after indicates he is scared.
Always a good thing.
No need to go into all the inside baseball details, but former Governor Bill Owens made some bad decisions that split the party back in the 2004-2006 time frame.
Also, this was the election when Obama took Colorado based, in my opinion. on Bush fatigue.
“I’m pretty new to CO but based on what I am hearing, I agree with you.”
I know Cory. Met his family and his parents the night of his first election victory of Congress. Did some work for him to help him win his first primary by depriving all his opponents of enough Assembly votes to make the ballot, leaving Cory the only man standing. Then lead the laugh section against Betsy “Marxy” in their one and only debate, and wrote a “gonzo” account of the debate that was the number one google hit about the debate, surpassing all of the tepid and lame MSM articles that were written.
So I’ve watched Cory pretty carefully. He’s quite polished and now very comfortable with the press. The folks at the Republican caucuses last week were all ecstatic about Cory being convinced to go against Udall so early in his career. Sadly enough though, Cory is the only bona fide superstar in Colorado Republican politics. One MSM outlet said the Republican bench in Colorado is only one person deep, namely Cory Gardner.
BTW, Cory IS a conservative, just not a shell-back like myself and so many of us here, so don’t believe a word from anyone here about Cory being a RINO: there’s light-years of difference between Cory and say, Lindsey Graham, John McCain, or Chis Christy.
“Watch the Denver comPost start digging around. If he pulled a girl’s pigtail in kindergarten, then that’ll be headline news.”
Yeah, no kidding! Like the crap they’ve pulled on Scott Walker claiming some sort of “illegal campaigning in college” twenty years ago. The problem is that it works with the idiots in this country a lot of the time.
Thanks for the update.
I’ll have to see if I’ve got some free funds to send his way.
What are the odds we can take out his cousin Tom in New Mexico? It would be great if we could flush both Udall’s in the same election.
That one is more difficult. Allen Weh is a septuagenarian retread, and he’d probably be lucky to get to 40% in the general. David Clements is much younger and harder-charging (though I believe he’s a Paulite), and would be a stronger opponent. Weh is still leading to be the nominee, however.
Cory Gardner is already running even and he just announced. Get his fundraising up and some ads from the Koch Brothers and we’ve got a 50/50 chance at least.
That will drive the liberals bonkers. ;-)
That makes it an even better idea.
