But, But, But...We Issued Policy Papers!

Former gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez, he of the worst statewide campaign Colorado has seen in decades, was back in the Rocky Mountain News today talking about future plans and his failed 2006 bid. The story talks about Beauprez getting back into politics at some point, but from the sound of it, he still hasn’t faced the reality that his campaign just flat-out sucked:

“It was the weirdest campaign I’ve ever been involved in – never could quite get traction,” Beauprez said. “We issued policy statement after policy statement on what we would do when I became governor, on transportation, on education, on health care, on water, on the environment, on and on and on, and none of it ever seemed to matter.”

Why in the hell would issuing a bunch of policy papers make any difference whatsoever? Frankly, issuing policy papers was one of his problems – remember his ingenious plan to train elk to migrate around oil and gas drilling sites?
