Bob Schaffer - The (Other) Invisible Man

Bob Schaffer's going to play it safe and try not commit to any of the big issues facing us. And he's going to let the NRSC do his dirty work for him. Great vid from the DSCC:



Here are the details of the invisible man's bold stances on the issues:

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee today released a new web ad reminding voters that Bob Schaffer is trying to hide his extreme record by ducking and running from the major issues of the day. From children's healthcare to drilling on the Roan Plateau to expansion of Piñon Canyon, Bob Schaffer is bluntly refusing to say where he stands. Last month, the DSCC launched a website, www.BobSchafferOnTheIssues.com, so voters could find out where Schaffer stands on various issues, but there are still many questions surrounding his positions.

"Bob Schaffer must know that Coloradans won't embrace his brand of extremism, so he's decided to try and hide his positions on major issues instead," DSCC spokesman Matthew Miller said. "When your record is more extreme than even Tom Tancredo's it might be sound political strategy to hope voters won't figure that out, but it's not the kind of courageous leadership Coloradans want from their next Senator."
