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.

Yep, the general election is on. Or off. Or, hmmm. Expect some folks to jump off the Holtzman ship, but it doesn’t matter. So long as the little guy can keep in the papers he’ll be fine.
Yesterday’s Post article was far from flattering, but it shouldn’t matter as we all know the old saying, any press is good press.
I love watching this debacle, the longer it plays out, the better for Holtzman. And we all know whom that ultimately favors.
And, if “Both Ways” does mean what I think, guess he won’t be supporting the Marriage Protection Act?
An interesting article from Today’s Denver Post online:

Makes you wonder, does Both Ways Bob Beauprez have a clue what it takes to govern Colorado?
Our “work horse”, veternarian is doing such a great job as a U.S. Senator – I think we should continue down the exact same path and elect a PE major, dairy farmer as our Governor. I’m sure he’ll do a “heck of a good job”!
It has become pretty clear that Gigi approached this process with a potent brew of incompetence and malice deep in her gut.
Pompeius, don’t forget, she threw in a dash of conflict of interest. Any truth to the rumor that she and Mike Coffman are going to do a switch w/ Coffman becoming Both Way’s running mate and Gigi running for SOS? Of course, if Both Ways is determined to have a woman running mate, couldn’t he entice the incumbent to make another run around the track?
WOW!! So the Denver Post is finally getting on the RIGHT Track. Both Ways Bob can’t have it both ways. Ref C was a financial fiasco, supported by leaky logic at best. As the economy slows, so too wiill state revenues and thus the rub.
In politics its known as Rising Expectations. First, you promise everything. Give a little of something, and finally, take away everything. The result? People who are mad as hell at the politicians.
Let’s just see how the Repubs try and get out of this one. Afterall, aren’t they the one’s that got us in this mess in the first place? RINO’s Unite, sign up and be the first on you block to follow the elephant parade out of town on a rail.
Here’s the best way for me to continue to screw up the best Republican candidate in years: focus all of Bob’s energies on talking about….HOLTZMAN!!! That’s the ticket.
Since this campaign obviously has no surrogates, I’ll just run the candidate all over East Jesus talking about a guy who can’t tell his ass from a hole in the wall.
Damn, I’m good!!!
If were Buffalo Bob Beauprez, I would spend all of my energies focusing on Marc Holtzman for two major reasons:
First: I don’t have an original thought of my own as evidenced by my fabulous, spectacular, impressive, and memorable years in Washington; and
Second: I don’t have a personality of my own. All I have is what I garnered from my audio tapes I listened to while traveling from Denver to Washington, D.C.
Anyone who thinks for a second that Beauprez (and we know that really means Benson, Owens, Trailhead) aren’t going to punish people for not supporting him in the beginning are crazy.
Those clowns never forgive, never forget, and always strike back!
[…] Republican Marc Holtzman’s campaign is moving ahead with attempts to validate signatures that Secretary of State Gigi Dennis through out in his efforts to make the primary ballot. But as Colorado PolsВ discussed yesterday, Bob Beauprez’s camp is planning a legal challenge to some of the Holtzman signatures that were allowed. From the Rocky Mountain News: Bob Gould, Holtzman’s campaign manager, said Holtzman has hired a data analysis firm to go over each of the 4,239 signatures that Dennis rejected because the name was illegible or the address wasn’t clear. “It’s probably never been done before in politics,” Gould said. “We have some very high-end technology.” […]
