University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato said Democrats will use Schaffer's conservative record against him to appeal to Colorado voters, who tend to favor moderate candidates. "Obviously, if there is going to be this matchup between Salazar and Schaffer, this will be the best chance Democrats have to capture a Senate seat in November," Sabato said Thursday.

Sabato is such a tool. Illinois is clearly the Democrats' best chance to gain a senate seat.

I do smirk at the "look at the freak" tone of this coverage. It's so sad that a candidate who stands by his conservative principles is immediately villified as some sort of alien creature.

I'm sure AP would have no problem with Osama bin Laden if he had a "D" next to his name and could win a statewide race.

Moderate, huh? Guess that explains Bill Owens, Marilyn Musgrave, Hank Brown, Wayne Allard, Tom Tancredo, Scott Mcinnis, Bob Beauprez, Bob Schaffer, etc.
