Nighthorse Campbell Says He Won't Endorse In U.S. Senate Race

By Jeremy Pelzer, PolitickerCO.com Reporter

Former U.S. Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R-Colo.) told the Rocky Mountain News on Tuesday that he's not endorsing either Republican Bob Schaffer or Democrat Mark Udall in this year's U.S. Senate race.

"I'm kind of staying out of it because Bob is a friend of mine and so is Mark," Campbell told the Rocky.

Campbell called Schaffer a "straight shooter" and a "man of his word. But Udall, he said, "is the kind of guy who can vote against you 10 times and you still like him."

"With respect to Hank Eng's campaign, one of the problems with the campaign is that it started a little bit late and he wasn't able to get his name out; he wasn't able to get his message out and so nobody knew who he was. And that's something that I'm not going to allow to happen in my campaign."

- David Canter, an attorney from Highlands Ranch who has announced he will seek the Democratic nomination for the state's 6th Congressional district seat in 2010, on how he will run a different campaign from the one 2008 Democratic candidate Hank Eng did against U.S. Rep.-elect Mike Coffman.
