Someone wrote once that opportunity is a runner with a huge shock of hair. You see him coming from a long way off. As he rushes by you grab for his hair only to discover he's bald in back - your hand comes away with nothing.
Coloradans will get a second chance next year to elect Bob Schaffer to the U.S. Senate. With Wayne Allard's decision not to run for a third term, Schaffer will be pitted against former state senator Mark Udall. If the election of Ken Salazar to the U.S. Senate is any guide, the decision of whom to support couldn't be clearer.
Salazar represented Colorado well as the state's attorney general. His views were moderate and as a result he had broad support. Once in the Senate, however, Salazar aligned himself with the far left. Any pretense at moderation was left behind in Colorado.
Coloradans can expect the same thing if Mark Udall is elected. That's because Democrats in Washington are controlled by radical leftists. In order to get along, they have to go along with liberals like Hillary Clinton, John Edwards and Ted Kennedy.
We know what we will get from Bob Schaffer - a man who keeps his word, remembers his constituency, and stands for Colorado values. One thing is certain with Bob Schaffer: what you see in Colorado today is what you'll get in Washington tomorrow.
That's my 2 cents worth from Pikes Peak Country. How about yours?
