Another Republican who may have a wide stance? In other words, I think he doth protest too much.
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2010/07/male-senate-candidate-vote-for.html?hpid=politics Male Senate candidate: Vote for me 'because I do not wear high heels' By Aaron Blake A new video shows Ken Buck, the leading Republican candidate in a Colorado Senate race, repeatedly using the word "bull----" and saying that voters should choose him over his female primary opponent "because I do not wear high heels." Buck, the Weld County district attorney, made the remarks at a recent forum, in response to an audience question. Former lieutenant governor Jane Norton has been running a campaign ad decrying third-party spending on behalf of Buck's campaign and urging Buck to "be man enough" to run the ads himself. "She has questioned my manhood; I think it's fair to respond," Buck continues in the video. "I have cowboy boots on. They have real bull--- on 'em. That's Weld County bull---, not Washington D.C. bull---." The brief YouTube clip is edited to about a minute and a half and was not posted by Buck's campaign. Buck spokesman Owen Lofthus said Norton has made gender an issue and noted that high heels have been invoked at several points in the campaign, including at least once by Norton's campaign manager. "The Norton campaign has routinely commented about her being a good choice because she is a woman, and her choice of shoes," Lofthus said. Norton spokeswoman Cinamon Watson suggested the video is Buck's Macaca moment -- a single clip that ruins a candidate's campaign (the term 'Macaca moment' was coined after then-Sen. George Allen was filmed in 2006 using a racial slur to refer to a rival campaign's staffer). "Ken is going to have to use all of his best lawyer-speak to explain this really stupid statement," Watson said. Recent polling has shown Buck overtaking Norton in the primary, but she has raised more money and has the unofficial support of the GOP establishment in the race. The winner will face the Democratic nominee -- either appointed Sen. Michael Bennet or former state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff -- in November.
