Schaffer continues to lose ground |
|
Edited on Fri Jun-20-08 07:45 PM by mtf80123
The gap itself may be less important than the trend: Schaffer has been steadily losing ground in tracking polls in the last three months, a critical period in which both candidates as well as their allies have spent liberally to introduce the two men to voters...
Udall maintains a large lead among women, while he extended his lead among unaffiliated voters to 21 points, a substantial advantage among the voting bloc analysts believe will ultimately decide the race.
And while Schaffer and several independent groups together have spent more than $1 million in the last three months on largely positive ads, Schaffer's favorable impression among voters actually fell slightly, according to the Tuesday poll (which has a margin of error of 4.5 percent and a 95 percent confidence rate).
The campaign has suffered several weeks of bad publicity over links between Schaffer and jailed lobbyist Jack Abramoff, and a negative TV spot by the League of Conservation Voters has been criticizing links between Schaffer and the oil industry...

3. Neither will I, however - the FISA bill is dead anyway... |

They'll be filibustering it to death, and the Senate will NEVER bring it to a passing vote without removing the immunity.

and I think you may be right, this is one the Senate may be able to stop, realizing that it would actually help Obama and the Senate and House candidates if they don't let this go forward.
I am voting for Udall too, but his vote has disappointed me. I hope everyone disappointed with his vote spends a few minutes letting him know. Also, call Representative DeGette and thank her for being the only Colorado congressperson to respect the Constitution during that vote.

6. Even the RNC has given up on Schaffer! |
|
The RNC won't give his campaign any more money. They are choosing to use the funds on states they can actually win. Now if only the anti-Udall ads would go away!
How long has it been since Colorado had 2 Dem Senators?
