So, you’re saying we cannot reuse War on Women messaging? But, what will we run on?
A recent USAToday article had us mentally patting national Democrats on the head in pity. The article was about Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s impact on Colorado’s U.S. Senate race, but also touched on Bennet’s campaign. One line was particularly funny:
“One difference that Democrats are hoping for is that Bennet runs a better campaign than Udall. Many criticized Udall’s focus on reproductive and women’s rights.”
Just a friendly reminder to USAToday writer Bill Theobald – the truth is that Bennet basically ran Udall’s campaign. Bennet and his Bannock Street Project may have learned lessons from the Udall race, but it doesn’t appear that “focusing too much on women’s uteri is problematic” is one of them.
A quick scan of Twitter over the past couple of months shows that the left has been overly-focused on Planned Parenthood, reproductive rights, and perceived women’s pay differential. Polling in Colorado shows over and over that women are not focused on these issues, but on the issues that everyone cares about – the economy, jobs, Second Amendment, national security, and more.
Democrats only have one play in the playbook – gin up fears that Republicans are going to take away birth control. Unfortunately, the last time that worked well was four years ago. Since then, women have wised up, but Democrats have not.

This kind of post is as tone-deaf as Colorado Pols often gets. Perhaps even a little more.
Then-Senator Udall became Senator Uterus just based on optics alone. He looked and acted like the kind of douchebag who pressures his girlfriend into having an abortion. Then-Rep. Cory Gardner, meanwhile, wound up looking and acting like the kind of douchebag who at least consoles his girlfriend's anxieties, all the while thinking & wargaming ways to getting out of raising the kiddo once it's born.
From my admittedly cursory glance at the GOP opposition against Bennet, they often look like the former type of douchebag. From volunteering for Bennet's 2010 campaign and reading the news on the guy over the years, Sen. Bennet looks and acts like the latter douchebag.
Your side's one play in the playbook is to gin up hopes that the Democrats' one play in their playbook is to gin up fears that Republicans are going to take away birth control? (shrugs)
