Colorado Democratic Sen. Mark Udall has talked about contraception and abortion more than just about any other 2014 candidate. Roughly half of his ads are about women's issues. The focus has been so intense that Udall has been nicknamed "Mark Uterus," with a local columnist joking that if the race were a movie, it would be set in a gynecologist's office. In a debate between Udall and Rep. Cory Gardner last week, moderator Lynn Bartels of the Denver Post used the moniker to describe him.
For all of that focus — and the insistence from Democrats that Gardner's record on women's issues was the key to Udall's reelection — the incumbent has watched the race slipping from his grasp in recent weeks, an erosion that many strategists believe speaks to the limits of the "war on women" strategy.
Sure, the "war on women" approach paid huge dividends in 2012, but it worked partly (largely?) because GOP candidates made insensitive and tone-deaf comments about rape and abortion. But if you look at this chart detailing issues of importance to voters heading into the Nov. 4 election, abortion and birth control just aren't hot-button issues. At all. Voters view those issues with about as much urgency as climate change, which is to say with not much urgency at all.

I suppose it’s a little more polite than just calling him a pussy.
Just goes to show there is a vas differens between the candidates.
Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
Okay. That makes sense, now. I cringed every time I heard it.
It may matter here. The real margin is so great that I don’t think they can cheat enough to overcome it.
That’s my thinking, also. We must get out the vote!
I hope the name goes nation wide as a pap smear against democRATS.
Senator Udall (D-Colo) took a strong stand against any limits on abortion. “For the government to step in at any stage of the pregnancy to militarize a woman's vagina--- is the equivalent of saying that the woman is a slave to the fetus and must place its interests ahead of her own.”
"Just call me, or Nikita, if anyone messes w/ your vagina."
That is too funny. There are a few other nicknames which could apply, having either four or five letters, but this will do. I won’t write them on a family-friendly site.
I still like “Abortion Barbie” better. :^D
