Both Ways Bob dumps campaign manager

Here's the thing about the gubernatorial campaign of Republican congressman Both Ways Bob Beauprez: He should be winning. He's got name recognition, political experience, and connections to the GOP fundraising elite.

But he's not winning. Instead, he's getting beaten by Democratic candidate Bill Ritter. And Beauprez's own party is sharply divided.

So what does Beauprez do? Does he take a stand on the issues? Does he clarify his potisions? Heck no. He parts ways with his Christian Coalition-trained, beltway-insider campaign manager.

Bob, it ain't your staff. (And it ain't your blog, which is really cool, by the way.) It's the issues. Ritter understands them. And all you understand is playing politics.
