Bob Schaffer Gets Conservative Endorsement

RESIZE: AAA

Jim DeMint’s Senate Conservative Fund is endorsing Bob Schaffer in Colorado. That’s great news.

Schaffer is a good conservative.

During his three terms in Congress from 1997-2002, Schaffer earned a 99 percent Lifetime Rating with the American Conservative Union. His average National Taxpayers’ Union ranking was 13th in the entire House, and he received the fourth highest score on two separate occasions.

The Democrats thought they had Colorado in the bag by running a Udall against Schaffer. New polls are suggesting that’s not the case.

According to the Washington Post, Schaffer has “pulled into a dead heat” with Udall. We can win this seat.

While Colorado is turning purple, Schaffer’s message resonates out there. We need to fight for him.

    …polling is now suggesting that McCain is picking up steam and Obama is sliding.

    We don’t have a public transportation system to speak of. Most of the higher paying jobs are in south Denver, so a lot of people commute quite a distance, so earnings by families are being reduced a lot.

    Mark Udall has come out strongly against going after shale oil reserves in Colorado. This not only impacts the price of fuel in Colorado, but also keeps a lot of high paying jobs from being created here.

    Schaffer rightly believes we just use all of the natural resources available to us, including oil shale and liquified coal. As more people hear about this difference, Schaffer’s popularity continues to rise, and Udall’s falls.
