"Mr. Udall, your campaign has been so focused on women’s issues you’ve been dubbed 'Mark Uterus,'" Bartels said Tuesday night. Bartels didn't make that up — earlier this week Colorado state Representative Amy Stephens, a Republican who briefly considered the race before tossing her support to Representative Cory Gardner, told Bartels that "no one I knew could tell you a thing he's done," and that's why his singular focus on women's health issues was worth the unflattering nickname.
