Michelle Obama apparently mixes up Colorado Senate candidates at campaign event

Michelle Obama made yet another flub on the campaign trail Thursday when she apparently confused Colorado Democratic Sen. Mark Udall with his Republican rival.

Obama spoke in Denver Thursday as part of a campaign event for Udall, who is engaged in a heated battle with his Republican opponent, Rep. Cory Gardner.

She touted Udall’s Senate record in her speech, and called him a “fifth-generation Coloradan.”

“Mark understands what makes this state special,” she said.

The only problem? Udall is not a fifth-generation Coloradan. In fact, he was born in Arizona and his father, former Rep. Mo Udall, served as a congressman from that state for decades.

It is Gardner who is a fifth-generation Colorado resident, a fact he touts frequently on the campaign trail. His website states he has “family roots dating back to 1886” in the state.

Could be worse. I remember when John Kerry was at a presidential campaign stop in Michigan and gave a shout out for the Ohio State Buckeyes.

I’m still thinking it’s her staff member who’s the idiot.
I can’t imagine her looking this stuff up herself.
Now, yes, she’s the one responsible in the end.
