All Is Forgiven

Republican Bob Beauprez has been busy the last couple of days courting Marc Holtzman supporters, telling them that all is forgiven if they?join his gubernatorial campaign now. Beauprez was on the phone Thursday evening – when it was first learned that Holtzman did not make the primary ballot – trying to convince top-level Holtzman backers to jump ship.

Meanwhile, we hear that close observers of the Holtzman challenge give him a 50/50 chance of success in making the primary ballot when all is said and done. Even if Holtzman is successful in arguing his case, Beauprez can still attempt to challenge aspects such as whether or not petition carriers were really registered to vote in the appropriate districts.
