The gender gap that could mean GOP victory in Colorado | WashingtonExaminer.com.
There is a gender gap in the Senate race here in Colorado, and, contrary to popular perception, it is Mark Udall’s problem.
The race between the incumbent Democratic senator and his Republican challenger, Rep. Cory Gardner, has at times been a mire of gender politics. For months, Udall attacked Gardner incessantly on the issues of abortion and birth control, in an effort to run up an advantage among women voters so large that it would ensure victory on Nov. 4.
But that’s not how things are working out. According to a variety of public and private polling, while Udall enjoys a lead among Colorado women, Gardner has a far bigger advantage among men. The difference is so pronounced that if it continues through election day, Gardner will win.
The incessant harping on one issue shows the intellectual shallowness of Mark Udall and his campaign team.
