Colorado Democratic candidate Stephany Rose Spaulding, who is waging a daunting battle against an incumbent GOP congressman in a solidly Republican district, got a sweet scoop of help this week from the ice cream barons at Ben & Jerry’s. The ice cream behemoth’s founders, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, are releasing a new flavor in Spaulding’s name — a peach and pecan jumble dubbed Rocky Mountain Rose — that is one of seven custom flavors whipped up by the pair as part of a coordinated effort with liberal political advocacy group MoveOn.org to promote Democratic challengers in congressional races across the country. Spaulding, a minister and professor at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, is facing Republican Doug Lamborn, who has held the 5th Congressional District seat since 2007. Cohen himself is scheduled to scoop free Ben & Jerry’s ice cream at 5:30 p.m.
