Udal's approval is not bad though.
It's all about making Gardner's worse.
Precisely. Which is why Gardner has to run soft-focus social ads in Denver ASAP and define himself positively before Udall's WOW ads get to those swingy moderate suburban women.
If so smart move on Gardner's part. It would be good for other GOP candidates to do this too before the Democrats resort to the same shallow and dishonest "paint them all with the same brush" tactics that seems to have worked so well for them in 2012 and 2013.
