Denver Post profile raises major questions about Beauprez: Part 3
Thanks to Colorado Pols, Dem Notes, 5280 and Soapblox for linking to my post on The Denver Post's profile of Bob Beauprez. Two more thoughts before I leave the story.
First, candidates' personal lives should remain personal. I have no idea why Beauprez and his wife shared the details of their relationship with the Post. I have no idea why the Post printed them. And I have no idea why anybody would care. Beauprez seems to have a loving, committed marriage. I applaud him for it. In fact, it's the only thing about him that I like.
Second, where the heck was the Colorado conservative blogosphere on this one? Many of the rightwing bloggers posted today. But I saw no responses to the allegations in the Post. If Democratic gubernatorial nominee Bill Ritter had been under fire, you better believe that I would've used my blogging time to defend him. Apparently, Beauprez simply doesn't have the backing of Republican activists. That says a lot about his campaign.
