What do Udall's Colorado supporters think [View all]

about Mark hiding from the Obama visit to Denver. I have worked hard for Mark for years and I know what he's up against in the election. But it seems stupid, no matter the President's popularity, to not show for an event where Obama is raising thousands of dollars for Mark's campaign. FOX is making hay with this and of course so are all the CO Repugs. Does Mark think the crazies will vote for him if he acts like a Repug (today co-sponsoring a bill to expand gun use on public lands)? If his base stays home there certainly will not be enough "independents" to re-elect him.
I called both Mark's Denver and DC offices. They said he had to be in DC for legislative work; I am glad he is co-sponsoring a bill with Patty Murray to overturn the terrible Hobby Lobby decision though he could have done this from Denver. If he has to kowtow to the gun nuts and Obama haters will progressives really win if he is re-elected?
