Poll: Obama, Udall pulling ahead of their GOP rivals in Colorado
Democrats Barack Obama and Mark Udall appear to be pulling away from their Republican peers according to new polling The Washington Post put out today.
According to Quinnipiac University, which performed the poll: “Post debate, Obama leads 54 - 38 percent among Colorado women voters, and inches ahead of (John) McCain 49 - 47 percent among men. White voters go 48 percent for Obama and 47 percent for McCain. Independent voters back the Democrat 51 - 40 percent.”
Udall, according to the university, “leads Republican Robert Schaffer 54 - 40 percent, compared to 48 - 40 percent September 23.”
These two races tilting rather noticeably (drastically, even, in the Senate race) in favor of Democrats cannot be good news for Republicans three weeks out from Election Day. That said, there still are three weeks for last-minute voters to be persuaded to vote Republican.

G.Gordon Liddy,Keating, etc. Do you actually believe you should be held accountable for acquaintances? Talk about drinking the Koolaid! There’s a lot of irony there asking about being smarter.
