So, campaigning 101: Don’t talk about how your Colorado’s hometown boy and then use mountains from Alaska in your ad.

Republican Senate candidate Bob Schaffer unofficially launched his campaign Wednesday with a biographical spot he was forced to pull almost immediately because the image in the ad of Pikes Peak — where he proposed to his wife — turned out instead to be Mount McKinley in, well, Alaska.
Dick Wadhams, Schaffer’s campaign manager, said the spot would be re-edited with Colorado peaks and start running again almost immediately, but not before his candidate took a series of hits from liberal bloggers noting that the ad was supposed to underscore Schaffer’s deep connection to Colorado.
You may remember Dick Wadhams from his time managing now ex-Senator George Macaca Allen’s campaign.
Man, Colorado political ads are fun! I wanna move there.
Wadhams! Rrrrrr. He’s back. He was here six years ago to run Allard’s campaign. What a tool.
