CO Senate: DSCC Up With 3 Ads Against Buck

[WI_DEM]

The DSCC is ramping up its attacks on Weld Co. DA Ken Buck (R), launching three separate ads against the Republican Colorado Senate candidate on Monday.

The ad blitz against Buck shows that Colorado is an essential part of the firewall Democrats are trying to construct to prevent the GOP from obtaining a Senate majority -- a tough slog at this point, but still a possibility if the GOP runs the table out West.

The three ads are the clearest sign yet that the DSCC wants to paint Buck, a Tea Party backed candidate, as extreme. The first two ads attack Buck for a statement that he would support repealing the 17th Amendment, which would allow state legislatures, not voters, to pick the state's representatives in Congress.

The third targets women voters and highlights a past statement from Buck that he wants to make some forms of birth control illegal
