Nope. You would have come out and answered it knowing that your first effort was found lacking. Thus you dodged yet again.

Show us the breakdown of the two candidates & the negative v positive ads of each. Other than that- It must only be your bias as to it supposedly being so loop sided.

What? You think the President should only be for those who vote?

"To observers, it was a well-placed rhetorical roadside bomb sending boastful Republicans a powerful message of caution. While top GOP brass from Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) — on standby to take over as Senate Majority Leader — to the avuncular House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) were bragging in torrents of ticker tape about how “the American people spoke,” the results of Tuesday night’s Republican wave showed a different kind of story.
Only 33.9 percent of total voting age Americans voted in what many are describing as one of the most hotly contested and consequential elections in modern political memory. That’s according to the early postmortem analysis from the University of Florida United States Election Project. Out of nearly 230 million voting eligible citizens, barely 83 million bothered participating.
In terms of pure numbers, the concept of a “mandate election” becomes rather doubtful."

I can't seem to find that breakdown, and I'm getting too frustrated with Google to keep looking. But if it's my bias, it's a bias shared by many, many Coloradans. Even the Denver Post saw it. There's a reason why Udall was nicknamed "Mark Uterus" by the people while Gardner mostly had jabs at being from Yuma thrown at him.

Nah. It's the bias.

DENVER — The closely watched $94 million Colorado Senate race can be seen as a proxy fight between Karl Rove, the co-founder one of the nation’s ur-dark money groups, the conservative Crossroads GPS, and the hedge-fund-guru turned environmental Super PAC sugar daddy Tom Steyer.
Crossroads GPS sunk more money into negative ads against Udall than it did against any other candidate nationwide — $8.7 million.
And NextGen Climate Action Committee, the Super PAC funded largely through more than $55 million in infusions by Steyer, also spent more on negative ads against Gardner than any other candidate — $6.8 million.
Indeed, the two groups spent more than any other outside groups in the race except the more traditional sources of outside money, the party committees. They also nearly matched or outspent those party committees: the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spent $8.1 million against Gardner; and the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, which spent $6 million against Udall.

I wasn't talking about super PACS. Of course they went negative. That's all super PACS ever do. I was talking about the candidates themselves. And with that, Udall was vastly negative while Gardner was vastly positive.

you'll have to provide some evidence. I've not seen what you are stating.

Well and like I said, I couldn't find evidence one way or the other. The only websites I found wanted to talk about Super PACS as if that was what I was asking for.

It looks like the Republicans are in majority in Congress now(USA). I am sure that there will be some exciting times ahead in Washington. Also, we are going into a big Presidential race. Lets try to get more voters out to the poles next election.

i am hardly interesting ' the president race ' or the other races in the past. i voted omaha last election, but the first time, since bill clinton. he was the second best domcrat president since roosevelt. i was too crazy about rommey or local republican in missouri. i found that i wasting my time, with ohama's vote. i didn't expect that much in second term, because last almost 20 years nothing has change in that office, what's else? if hillary is running for vice-president. i am not interesting in voting. for the bottom line for me, that hardly has much information on any of candiates that is running. with ohama before his running. his bio. was a little paragraph, that was it. that really didn't impress me at all, that was a strong reason why i didn't vote that year. other reason, omaha's view were more like clinton's views than his own. this coming election is going to like others over years, it will be more than horses and carriage races.

If there was not much difference- why have the repubs thrown nothing but legislative roadblocks & mislead or outright lie so much about the differences he has succeeded in making? Just wondering? It's not like he really is "King" and can make all of the changes we have been needing.
