That’s one way of having your cake and eating it too. Asked in a local TV interview if Common Core is good or bad for Colorado students, Democratic Sen. Mark Udall without hesitation answered with an unequivocal yes — the senator firmly believes that Common Core is good or bad for students. Watch the first 10 seconds for yourselves.

The rest of the lightning round wasn’t that impressive, either.

Good Lord, this is a disastrous interview on local TV for Udall. Asks for do-over halfway through. #COSen http://t.co/GD78a41h0n

@JohnEkdahl @kerpen I give Udall a break on this. Question was change-up; stumbled, recovered in <60 seconds. Could happen to Gardner, too.

@ByronYork @kerpen I don’t know, seemed lost and disorientated and lost the whole time. Answered “yes” to a good/bad question.
