Lock 'n' Load

It looks like both candidates are loadin' up for the coming campaign season. Initial reading of the Rocky Mountain News piece would have one believe that Salazar holds all the cards on fund raising. However, reading deeper into the piece shows that Coors will not be left wanting for funds.

Salazar spokesman Cody Wertz said Coors' ability to draw on his personal wealth will be a concern during the general election.

"We know we're going to be outspent many times over during the next 11 weeks," he said, " so we wanted wanted to get a healthy (advertising) buy in."

Watson said the Coors campaign is "aggressively" raising money.

Because of the national importance [control of the US Senate] of the Colorado Senate race, there should be no shortage of funds. It's gonna be interesting.
