Republicans are now putting money behind their claims that Colorado and Washington are potential Senate pickup opportunities this fall, launching ads this week in the two blue states.
The NRSC is spending $765,000 on a week’s worth of television ads in Washington, in addition to $250,000 in Colorado. Democrats in each state have already been on the attack against the Republican challengers there, suggesting the party anticipated that their incumbents could find themselves in tight races.
