Interesting development in a GOP primary in Colorado where a candidate used his Wife's voice in a robo call response to a negative AD.  This is a first that I've heard of.

If anyone has the audio to this robocall, let me know.

Here is a link to the story.

Sixth Congressional District Republican candidate Wil Armstrong released a television ad Monday labeling GOP primary opponent Mike Coffman as a "career politician with a record of controversy."

The Coffman campaign, anticipating a negative ad from the Armstrong camp, quickly responded Monday with a robocall to all CO-6 registered Republicans from Coffman's wife Cynthia.

Armstrong's ad, called "A Record of Controversy," went out on both broadcast and cable TV. In the ad, an announcer says that Coffman is "climbing up the political ladder" while Armstrong is "running for Congress to make a difference."

"In these uncertain economic times, we need more business leaders in Congress, not more career politicians," the announcer states.

Coffman, the current Colorado Secretary of State, previously served as state treasurer, a state senator, and a state representative. He also served in both Iraq Wars as a U.S. Marine.

The ad displays several newspaper stories (and an editorial)about controversies Coffman has had as state treasurer and Secretary of State. (See below for links to the four articles cited in the ad).

Cynthia Coffman's robocall, recorded a few days before Armstrong's TV ad came out, stated that Armstrong launched a negative and untruthful smear campaign against Mike, and that it saddened her that fellow Republicans would use win-at-all costs tactics that are divisive and destructive to the Republican Party, according to Coffman manager Dustin Zvonek.

Zvonek said he wasn't able to locate an exact script of the robocall, as Cynthia Coffman recorded her message off-the-cuff, using only a few notes to guide her.

Here is the TV AD:
