Although records of his residence and his voting registration make clear he lives in Boulder, his campaign and congressional offices present him as being from Eldorado Springs.

Wadhams went on to say that Udall did a very good job representing his district, but he suggested that Boulder is out of the mainstream in terms of the rest of the state. He pointed out that Udall twice signed on as a co-sponsor to Ohio Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich's bill to establish a Department of Peace. Wadhams ticked off a couple of other issues, including his votes on the Card Check bill and against a Colorado water project to suggest that Schaffer's campaign is fully prepared to make the case that Udall is too liberal.

Gas Tax Holiday To Be Introduced By Graham

U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham said he will propose suspending the federal tax of 18.4 cents a gallon for the summer in a measure on the Senate floor as early as next week.

"On a very short-term basis, I think Sen. (John) McCain's got a really good idea -- relieve that tax," said Graham, R-S.C.

THE DEAD PELICAN expects the U.S. Senate contest between State Treasurer John Kennedy and U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu to be heated. One issue that is expected to gain traction is the Landrieu connection to Jack Abramoff, former lobbyist and convicted felon.

Landrieu will likely face some difficult questions in the upcoming race on this issue.

Landrieu claims she never took money from Abramoff -- even though records indicate money she received went through him. There are also questions about Landrieu hiring a former Abramoff staffer that was instrumental in funneling Abramoff's money -- an ethically suspect move during a reelection campaign. Details below.

Sununu: Shaheen Lacks Credibility On Key Issues

Former Democratic Gov. Jeanne Shaheen lacks credibility on issues such as taxes and the Iraq War according to Republican Sen. John Sununu in an exclusive freewheeling interview with Now! Hampshire.

Sununu and Shaheen are expected to battle this year for the US Senate seat Sununu captured over Shaheen in 2002.

"She supported the Bush tax cuts, now she's against them. She supported our involvement in Iraq, and now she has changed her mind. She took a pledge back when she was governor not to impose a broadbased tax, and then she pushed and tried to give the state a sales tax that would have devastated our economy," said Sununu.

The National Breast Cancer Coalition has honored U.S. Sen. John Sununu, R-NH, with a "Certificate of Excellence" in recognition of his support in the fight to prevent breast cancer.

New Hampshire representatives of the National Breast Cancer Coalition -- Jane Edmunds of Hollis, Nancy Ryan of Lee, and Sue Holmes of Hollis -- presented Sununu with the award on recently in his Capitol Hill office.

"Breast cancer will take the lives of over 40,000 women across the country this year -- hundreds of them from New Hampshire. Great strides have been made in the fight to prevent this tragic disease, due in large measure to the leadership of Nancy Ryan, Chair of the New Hampshire Breast Cancer Coalition and her fellow members," Sununu said. "These statistics show how much work remains to be done, and I continue my commitment to fighting for passage of the Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Act. Research and awareness are key tools in this battle that will help bring about a decline in the incidence and death rate from breast cancer. The highly successful breast cancer research fund raising stamp has been a great benefit in helping to fund this fight."

Sununu co-sponsored the Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Act in the 108th, 109th, and the current session of Congress. The legislation directs the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to provide grants for the development of eight research centers across the country that would be responsible for examining the potential links between breast cancer and the environment.
