This will be part of an on-going series, which will identify key races where we either need to retain strong conservatives or to elect strong conservatives. My personal feeling with being faced with two inferior candidates for President offered by our major political parties, we must turn our attention to insuring more conservative American-values oriented persons are elected to the U.S. Congress.
Mark Udall .............. Bob SchafferTHE RACE
The next race that we will highlight is Colorado’s seat in the United States Senate. In early January 2007, incumbent Senator Wayne Allard (R) announced he would not seek re-election, honoring his pledge to serve no more than two terms. This is quite admirable in the days of the Edward Kennedys and Joe Bidens of the world who seem to be elected Senator’s for life.
I suggest that all conservatives in Colorado and elsewhere support former Representative Bob Schaffer, Republican candidate to replace retiring Sen. Allred.
Former Representative Bob Schaffer is the Republican nominee.
The Democratic nominee is 2nd district Congressman Mark Udall.
The American Constitution Party’s nominee is Douglas "Dayhorse" Campbell.
THE RATING
Schaffer is rated as a hard-core conservative and his opponent, Rep. Udall is rated as a hard-core liberal at OnTheIssues.com.
Udall “boasts” a 100% rating by the pro-homosexual advocacy misnamed group Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and a 100% rating by the pro-abortion industry organization NARAL.
This will be another very interesting election to follow. This election offers an even wider divergence of candidates and the issues than does the Presidential election where we have an extreme, hard-core liberal (Obama) versus a moderate-liberal (McCain).
THE REALITIES
According to the latest Rasmussen survey in the state shows Democrat Mark Udall leading Republican Bob Schaffer by 7 or 8 percentage points. The Democrats are putting their big guns, big effort and big money into defeating this staunch conservative. Schaffer and his ilk is much needed in the Senate today They even resorted to deceit, imagine that! The website “BobSchafferOnTheIssues.com” is supposedly a very unfunny parody. I could hear the blasts of the Democratic attack machine working for all it has to capture this vulnerable Republican held seat.
THE RESOURCES
To support Congressman Bob Schaffer, which I urge you to do, see his website, http://www.bobschafferforsenate.com/, to learn more about him, to make a campaign contribution, to volunteer your service, etc.
