Peak performance: U.S. Senate candidate Tom Strickland has been dogged by supporters of his opponent, incumbent Wayne Allard --and some even beat him to the top of the Fourteener the Democrat was climbing for this past Saturday's photo op. "While we were celebrating Colo-rado's special places, Allard is playing petty and negative politics," says Strickland spokeswoman Chris Watney.

But this week, Strickland finally had his campaign to himself -- even if he had to leave Colo-rado to accomplish it. On Tuesday, he headed to Jackson Hole and a fundraiser at the home of former Denverites John and Nancy Carney. No, Allard's folks weren't waiting for him on the top of Grand Teton.
