U.S. Senate
- Sen. Michael Bennet vs. the media on his campaign ad attacking Ken Buck: “They’re mistaken.”
CO-3
- Rep. John Salazar looks to bolster a stagnant campaign with high-profile additions to his staff, including new campaign spokeswoman Tara Trujillo, who has most recently worked for Sen. Mark Udall (D) and did communications work for Salazar in the past.
Governor
- Tom Tancredo’s first TV ad hits Republican opponent Dan Maes over the $300 contribution/loan controversy between the candidate and one of his former supporters, an 83-year-old woman named Freda Poundstone:
“He lied to me about his background and he deceived my friends and myself about his conservative principles.”
- A ruling is expected today on the lawsuit brought against Tancredo that could potentially remove the candidate from the November ballot.
- Maes, speaking on the topic of Tancredo’s candidacy and support, offered a 20 percent rule recently (from a major polling outfit) as the level necessary for candidate inclusion in the gubernatorial debates — and is now “perilously close” to falling below that threshold.
