The Colorado Senate race is a nail biter so far. Incumbent Mark Udall faces a tough battle against challenger Congressman, Cory Gardner. In a recent debate Gardner blamed the Incumbent on the association of Obamacare and the healthcare laws we have today. He mentioned that Udall supported Obama for the beginning, and accuses him for supporting the stimulus plan in 2008.
“Barack Obama and Mark Udall have put tremendous pressure on this country,” Gardner said.
Udall based his argument on Gardner’s support of over the counter birth control. “How can women and families trust you? Why are you getting between women and their doctors?” Udall asked Gardner. Both parties have spent millions on the race, and according to The Huffington Post, when the contest is decided it could be the most expensive Senate race in Colorado history.
The polls have Udall up by about half a point. When November come both parties shall be exhausted from this brutal fight. This race is comparable to gladiators fighting for their life and doing anything they can to get the victory. Gardner places heavy emphasis on Udall’s affiliation with President Obama, and his support throughout his term. He mentions that Udall has made a lot of promises and has yet to keep them. Incumbent Mark Udall striked back by accusing Gardner of hurting the people of Colorado during the partial government shut down in the aftermath of the devastating floods a year ago. As of now, this race is a coin flip.
