MARK UDALL [v/o from ad]: We've got to draw a line in the sand...
ANNOUNCER [v/o]: That's what Boulder liberal Mark Udall says now...
(Text on screen: Mark Udall for Colorado Ad -- "Line," 8/12/08)
When it comes to solving America's energy crisis, Udall is shifty as Middle Eastern sand. Udall has opposed offshore drilling in America throughout his career in public life.
(Text on screen: "Udall reverses opposition to offshore drilling." -- Denver Post, 8/14/08)
No on offshore drilling. No on domestic exploration. No on expanding energy production.

Mark Udall. His plan isn't worth the sand it's written on.
