Guest post from CD6 nominee Bill Winter

Due to a technical glitch, the machines at the Winter for CD6 campaign started dialing phone numbers late last night. Real late. Like, last-call late.

This sort of thing is hardly the cadidate's fault. But Bill Winter isn't pointing fingers. He's stepping up. He asked Coloradolib, along with some other blogs, to post this apology:

I want to formally and sincerely apologize to anyone who received a robo-call from my campaign at an inappropriate time. I know no one likes to get robo-calls under the best of circumstances, but unfortunately, we had a technical problem that allowed some calls to go out at inappropriate times. This is NOT an indication of what is going on with my campaign. This is a one time technical problem that we will resolve immediately!

I take personal responsibility for this. I deeply and sincerely apologize. We will find out why this happened. We will get it fixed. And it WILL NOT happen again.

I understand your anger and I only ask that you not take it out on my staff. When things go wrong in this campaign, the only person responsible is me! I will be at a variety of public functions this weekend and will be available to apologize to you in person. You can find those events on our website and I invite you to come talk to me.

Again, I apologize most sincerely,
Bill Winter

I don't like capital letters. Or the punctuation mark I refer to as a slammer. But I do like candidates who confront even minor problems with speed and honesty. Nice going, Bill.
