Bloomberg continues to prove himself political poison for Democrats seeking reelection:
“The NRA went after two or three state senators in a part of Colorado where I don’t think there’s roads,” Bloomberg said. “It’s as far rural as you can get.”
In fact, two recalled lawmakers came from Colorado Springs and Pueblo, two of the state’s largest cities.

The comment made Colorado the latest state where Bloomberg became a target for Republicans eager to link him to Democrats — and a punching bag for Democrats hoping to show independence from big government New York liberalism.
Udall responded Thursday by urging Bloomberg to stay out of Colorado’s affairs.
“Not since New Jersey Governor Chris Christie attacked Colorado’s way of life has an east coaster gotten us so wrong,” said Udall spokesman James Owens. “Christie and Bloomberg should stick to what they know best: traffic jams and tiny sodas.”
