DENVER — Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) and his allies have a clear message for political handicappers and pollsters: You’re wrong.
The incumbent and his supporters insist they will shock the pundits on Election Day, even though Udall hasn’t had the lead in a single public poll in more than a month and is facing a rising GOP star in Rep. Cory Gardner.
Two new surveys released Tuesday gave Gardner a narrow lead, underscoring Democratic fears that the race for the Senate majority could be lost in a state that voted for Barack Obama twice.
Udall’s campaign scoffs at suggestions that their candidate is in trouble, even as they acknowledge Gardner is a tough competitor and that internal polls reflect a tied race.
“I’m more confident than I’ve been the whole campaign,” one Udall staffer told The Hill.

You forget that a vast amount of political power is vested in a permanent and unelected body of professional congressional staffers.
Your computer generated voting results will have whatever numbers their owners create. Voter inputs are no longer required. What kind of people continue to think their votes are actually counted?
Yes, those are two new "innovations" in Colorado passed by a 'Rat legislature and signed by the 'Rat governor this year.
There is a new documentary film about the left's taking over Colorado using unscrupulous tactics. It's title is "Rocky Mountain Heist." Saw a trailer of it on "The Kelly File" on FoxNews the other night. Michelle Malkin, a Colorado resident, plays a big role in it, from what I understand.
My big complaint in addition to these bad ideas, is the extended voting which creates an enormous ability for fraud to enter in.
I read up on that law in Colorado ...if that race is within 5 points you can kiss CO goodbye...the whole law is an invitation to steal and election and they are organized enough in CO to do it without a problem ...I don’t have much doubt on how Senator and Governor are going to turn out there...

WTF ever happened to Election Day?
a real damn pity there is no elected Republican who will mention this travesty. CWII? OK! Where do I join?
By definition, all mail-in voting is extended voting as well.
You're correct. The longer you keep the polls open, the more opportunity for cheating. It's like night following day.
Sure Ms 99% Obama the brain-dead Uterus.
WTF ever happened to Election Day?
Agreed 100%. One Republican elected official on the right side in this gloomy mess is Kurt Kobach, Secretary of State of Kansas. He's gotten state legislation passed and signed which requires voter photo ID and proof of citizenship upon registration.
Well, I’m not necessarily a big fan of mail in votes. I’ve never cast one myself. I consider election to be something I’m called on to participate in, and I schedule accordingly. I know some folks can’t, so I’m not dead set against them. I would like it for good cause though. And then again, how do you determine that?
Anh. That’s nothing. People have been voting posthumously for centuries.
Whom, I am sure you will agree, we would be better off without.
Of course, I am dreaming. There would be no preventing a permanent cadre of consultants and advisers springing up to "Guide" the naive new lawmakers. sigh...
Too much money. Too much power.
Very well put, AA.
If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it."Mark Twain -Nothing new under the sun.
Not an invitation, a dead cinch guarantee.
The Colorado Republicans should send observers to every Post Office in the state to watch what happens to all those loose ballots flying around out there. I’ll bet the employees and those who clean the Post Offices have been told to take all of the discarded, blank ballots out of the trash and hold them for certain individuals.
Did you see the newest James O’Keefe video? Not only is a dem operative telling James how to do voter fraud - but in the process she’s trashing blacks...
I’ll see if I can find it.
A dem worker telling James O’Keefe how to cage ballots from black neighborhoods.... because “those people” (blacks) don’t care...
