House Democrats scale back spending in Colorado

[El Supremo]

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democrats are canceling $1.4 million in television advertising in Colorado as their chance at upending a Republican congressman has diminished.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee had targeted Republican Rep. Mike Coffman and invested considerable funds to boost the candidacy of Andrew Romanoff, a former state House speaker. A Democratic official said Friday that spending planned for the final two weeks of the race would be spent elsewhere.

Democrats are facing millions of dollars in spending by outside groups and need the money to help save incumbents in Georgia, West Virginia, Illinois, New Hampshire and California. The party is adding television advertising time in those states as well as Florida, where Gwen Graham, daughter of former Sen. Bob Graham, is locked in a close race with Republican Rep. Steve Southerland.

The decision to shift the money out of Colorado comes one day after Democrats scaled back their buy in Virginia, where they hope to win the open seat held by retiring Rep. Frank Wolf. Democrat John Foust is facing Republican Barbara Comstock in that contest.

I'm actually very happy about this. I think the large majority of voters tune out these ads. I hate them. And I hate the phone calls. We've stopped answering our land line until after the election.

I think Romanoff, Udall and Hickenlooper will win anyway.

1. I agree with you on the wins.

Colorado polls consistently under represent Democrats.

2. Denver Post

just endorsed Cory Gardner over Mark Udall. Sickening!!!!!!!! That's all we can expect from this rag owned by right wing billionaires. We have almost no media left that we can trust.
