From the Associated Press:
Supporters of gubernatorial candidate Marc Holtzman thought his rival for the Republican nomination, Rep. Bob Beauprez, would catch on after they praised him as a fiscal conservative for only giving 1 percent of his salary to charity.
And they were positive the two-term congressman and former dairy farmer would figure things out when they said “he milked support out of that room like he might milk a cow” at the El Paso County GOP assembly.
Instead, Beauprez linked his official campaign Web site to the “Students for Beauprez” blog and even praised it, noting that “Grassroots are the heart of any campaign, and so we were excited to find the Students for Beauprez blog launched recently by a UCCS student in Colorado Springs.”
In an interview with The Associated Press, Holtzman spokesman Jesse Mallory said the blog started out as a joke blog by a college student who supported Holtzman. It grew, drawing intense debate from political blogs across the state, including ColoradoPols.com, which tracks and ranks political candidates for office. [Emphasis added]
