Buck trails Udall by 21 percentage points, or so says a recent Quinnipiac University poll …
Apparently, Buck has the same problem with women voters as Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole, who lost to Bill Clinton partly due to losing women voters by a large margin. At the time, one woman Washington insider or pundit quipped that Bob Dole reminded many women of their first husband. Indeed, not fond memories.
Udall trails Buck by 14 points among men or so says a recent Quinnipiac University Poll.
Apparently Udall has the same problem every Democrat who has recently lost a race has, partly due to losing men.
Buck has the same problem eveery republican who recently lose a race as, partly due to losing women.
I got the scoop. Jason Salzman and ColoradoPols have been working on the story, but I have it for you here first:
The problem Buck has with this is the video he produced for his campaign website is just that a video to benefit his campaign. The comments degrading a rape victim as having "buyers remorse" was recorded when he didn't think anyone was listening. Which one represents Mr. Buck's true feelings about women. The latter certainly seems more credible than something manufactured by his campaign.
No silly. Ken Buck is likened unto Jesus Christ Himself for having to have his ideas vetted by voters.
So, let me get this straight…For the Christian Right, having to face other people's disdain for being a self-righteous bigot, homophobe and misogynist is just as bad as being beaten, whipped, tortured, nailed to a cross, and having a spear jammed into your side.
For AC's sake (and so many others), he'd better hope Christ never comes back. He'd be justified in slapping the shit out of them when he does.
So, in an attempt to shore up support from women, Buck, the mysoginist bastard, says this: "the fact is that I have spent 25 years of my life trying to help the most vulnerable in our community" I'm just really sure that my wife and two daughters think they're the "most vulnerable" in our community. "Republicans" just can't help themselves. They really are anti-woman and every time they try to play like they aren't, they just end up proving the point.
An old politician named Buck
his foot in his mouth became stuck
He excused a rapist
crime admitted on tape ss
With the ladies, Buck’s just out of luck.
Let me see,
Buck trail Udall with women so he is anti-women.
Udall trails Buck with men so Udall is anti-men.
Now Amy Stephens trails Udall with women, so she must also be anti-woman?
You know who is anti-women?
Planned Parenthood and their supporters on Colorado Pols. Take a look at the picture below.
She is a woman. She died because of Planned Parenthood. That is anti-women.
In fact, Planned Parenthood recently agreed to pay a $2,000,000. for taking her life. They botched an abortion and she bled to death. She left behind a one year old son. Here is a link:
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/barbara-boland/planned-parenthood-settles-2-million-case-after-botched-abortion
Please describe how a negligent medical procedure justifies Mr. Buck's anti-women comments.
I admit you're a master of distraction. Whenever a new thread begins where you can't refute the facts, in this one about Mr. Buck, you attempt to distract eveyrone's attention to another subject. I guess its a good strategy but someday we all have to deal with teh facts and in this thread, on this day, please tell us how you justify Mr. Buck's attitudes twoard women.
Smearing more of his chickenshit feces on the wall. That's all. Ignore him he is a self-loathing coward. Doesn't even have the maturity or guts to admit when called out in a lie.
Let me help you.
There is no war on women.
There are people who believe that life begins at conception and people who believe it does not and that abortion.up to a certain point in time is OK.
The politicians, including women politicians, who are pro life do not win popularity contests with 18-29 year old single women.
If it was about Buck, Stephens would not trail Udall 51-33 among women, similar to Buck trailing Udall 54-33.
Why does Udall trail Buck among men, 50-36.? Is there a war on men?
Since married women tend to support Republicans much more than single women, perhaps it's time for single Republican men to seek out a marriage partner to give Republican electoral candidates a better chance … heck, for the good of the country!
I hope that you're not recruiting volunteers.
Good luck with that. Free spirits are much sexier than uptight stern father figures.
Marriage doesn't work on all women. Romney, for instance , won married men by 22 points but only won married women by 7. So he still got a very good sized chunk of married women including many who obviously didn't vote with their R husbands. And it's not as if male support for Obama was nonexistent. He lost men by 7 points and actually won single men by 16 points.
Republican support is growing among certain demographics. Too bad for them its among dead end and declining demographics.
Actually it is growing in the 18–29 demographic which to most is somewhat surprising. That had been solid Dem.
Please provide proof. Thank you. And from an unbiased source.
Ha ha ha ha. Now THAT is funny dp.
Let me help, guys. I see the need. I initially found it interesting in the Quinnipiac poll, Buck leads Udall in that demographic, so I did some research. Here is a graph which came from a publication put out from a school in Massachusetts which you likely never heard of.
Here is the link to the Harvard Institute of Politics study.
http://iop.harvard.edu/blog/iop-releases-new-fall-poll-5-key-findings-and-trends-millennial-viewpoints
Forgot to include link for that 16% single men figure. I know it will sound wrong. It surprised me so here's a source:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/2957475/posts
Here's where I first ran across that 16 point single men adavantage figure. Couldn't find it again for a while there. I had no idea Obama did so well among single men, too. Righties can't find too much fault with it. It's from Fox.
http://dailycaller.com/2012/11/07/married-voters-favored-romney-by-14-percentage-points/
advantage
Actually, Fox is communist, Blue Cat, on those days when it doesn't massage the numbers to help the Rs.
I forgot.
Please don't feed the trolls.
Hey Ralphie, tongue-in-cheek is not trolling … lighten up.
What we're looking for is a zero response rate.
The reason why people believe that you republican nuts have a war on women is because you do. You right wingers are constantly trying to take right away from women.
Please stop sourcing from conservative bullshit websites.
Please start finding unbiased sources. CNSnews is not a reliable source.
Guess where we learned to do that, Ken.
And of course it isn't one issue. Republicans not only oppose abortion but also oppose access to all the most reliable forms of birth control, aggressively seek to find ways to close Planned Parenthood clinics even though only a tiny percent of health services performed in those clinics is in any way abortion related, with those services getting no government funding, while all the rest of the services provide what for many women is their sole access to routine health care including cancer screenings.
They use blame the victim rhetoric in reference to rape victims, they oppose forcing any changes in how the military deals with crimes against female service members despite the terrible record of justice for victims and the flourishing of an atmosphere that does little to discourage crimes against women in the military.
They oppose equal pay for equal work. They support discredited trickle down economics and austerity policies that hurt women and families while increasing the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few, almost exclusively white males. They oppose minimum wage increases that would help women support themselves and their families. They relentlessly demand cuts to programs that help women feed and access healthcare for their families.
This may come as a big shock to Buck and other GOTPers but many of the women who now would never consider voting for a Republican would also never have an abortion, would not be opposed to some limitations on late term abortion and would even be willing to vote for an anti-choice candidate whose policies weren't so opposed to their interests over all.
The GOTP is indeed waging a war on women as well as on all low to middle income Americans. Unlike so many white male low to middle income Americans who continue to support Republicans because they believe the garbage they hear on Fox and rightie radio, most women and most minorities are smart enough to figure out who their real enemies are.
That's why the GOTP fights so hard for gerrymandering, voter suppression measures that make it harder for Dem leaning minorities and women to vote (see Texas where many women have had difficulties due to small discrepancies between driver's licence name and name on voter rolls due to maiden names being required as a middle name on one though it might not have been used on the other)) and to stop immigration reform that would include a path to citizenship. It's all part of their desperate rear guard action to stem the demographic tide that will overcome the outsized but waning power of their base with the power of a majority of voters with a clue.
Mr. Buck has to be kidding. His negative attitude about women was revealed four years ago when he made many public, shameful statements about women, including former Lt. Gov. Jane Norton, his primary opponent, in "high heels," but most of all his unguarded comments to a rape victim that she had "buyers remorse" when the rapist had already confessed, shows a mind-set that he believes women are not first class citizens and can be brushed aside with degrading comments, even in situations where he is suppose to be fulfilling his duties as a district attorney and upholding the public trust. He can't walk away from the turth about himself; truth.
I think Guys think the same way about Udall.
Oh yeah – I definitely have the impression that men have been shown just how much Mark Udall minimizes and undermines men.
All those mountains he climbs makes me feel lazy.
The explanation of Buck's gender gap is only partly due to the Weld County rape case and his campaign faux pas and gaffes. As a demographic, women are increasingly a Democrat constituency, especially unmarried women. Also, there is a generational shift toward socialism and the concept of a social contract, and away from capitalism. Recent polls have revealed less than half of those under 30 have a favorable opinion towards a capitalistic, free market economy.
So all of the alleged calamities committed by Buck in his war on women in 2010 might account for a 3% difference among women voters, Udall over Buck 54-33, Udall over Stephens 51-33 in the Quinnipiac poll.
Thanks ColoradoPols.
You're just mad because you know we are right. The comments mentioned above by Buck,including this recent one are but examples of the problems "Republicans" have with women. Basically, they believe a religious theory that women ought to be submissive (without reading the rest of the verse by the way) and women have sussed that out and are voting like their freedom depended on it. And, quite frankly, it does.
What is the reason Dems lose the male vote?
All Dem policies require the proletariat to be submissive. Men seem to be voting like their freedom depended on it. And, quite frankly, it does.
It's idiots like you that is losing the Republican and independent votes.
Do yourself a favor, and go away. No-one cares.
End of anti-troll message.
Why do Dems trail amoung mail voters by so much? Is it really all old people? And the giant question – are people still shifting Republican as they get older?
David, what struck me as counterintuitive in looking at the Buck Udall matchup by Quinnipiac was the 18-29 demo. For an off year election it may not be a big deal, but it was surprising.

"Male" voters, not so much. The big gap is in the 30-49 range: people who came of age in the "me" generation of Ronald Reagan. The gap actually narrows – both for men and overall – in the older population.
Here's a Pew Center detailed breakdown (PDF): http://www.people-press.org/files/legacy-detailed_tables/Detailed%20tables%20for%20Party%20ID.pdf
Ken Buck doesn't seem to know there are "videos" of him saying things he believes..He, also forgets, women have long memories…the women I know who have mentioned Kenny…well, I just hope that his wife guards his testicles as they would be in serious danger of being "crushed" by the very women he hates…there are many more women who have serious negative feelings for this guy….Udall may have to worry more about outside, dark money than from women voting for Buck…West slope politics can be tricky…
Actually, Mr. Buck, what makes you anti-women is more than just your pro-life stance. It also may have somthing to do with that little quote where you said you should be the Republican nominee because you don't wear high heels…
