Democrat Mark Udall may be trying to have it both ways on the issue of Common Core standards in education. In an interview with ABC-7 News in Denver, the senator from Colorado was asked a series of questions designed to elicit simple, one-word answers. Reporter Marc Stewart asked this: “Is Common Core good or bad for Colorado students?”
“Yes,” replied Udall. Watch the video, from Friday, below:
It’s not clear from Udall’s campaign website what his position is on Common Core.
The interview did show Udall confirming his support for Obamacare, a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants, and “placing restrictions for gun buyers.” The Democrat also struggled to name the three most influential books he’s read.
Udall is up for reelection against Republican challenger Cory Gardner, who has led in the last four polls and has a 3-point lead in the Real Clear Politics average of polls.
