CO: Worried GOP Touts Poll Showing Coors Losing to Salazar, Coors Turns Back on Clean Campaign Pledge ******************************************************
The National Republican Senate Committee (NRSC) clearly sees the currently Republican held Senate seat in Colorado slipping from their fingers. What else would explain their release of a new poll paid for by the NRSC showing Democratic Attorney General with a lead of 47-43 over Pete Coors who is running in part to lower the drinking age from 21 to 18 (he does sell beer, after all)? Late last week the NRSC released a poll conducted for them by the Tarrance Group showing their candidate losing to our candidate even after massive publicity he received after winning the GOP primary. It's hard for us to see what exactly the NRSC is crowing about - but hey - more power to them.
Also in Colorado, a shadowy GOP third party group known as Americans for Job Security (AJS) is running an ad against Salazar which editorial writers have termed "sleazy" "slime" and a "slur." AJS is a Republican front group for candidates like Pete Coors and the national Republican Party - so it's not a surprise that Coors has refused to denounce the ad despite saying after the primary that he opposes third party groups running such negative ads in Colorado.
