Rocky Mountain News misses the point entirely
Democratic gubernatorial nominee Bill Ritter's campaign manager, Greg Kolomitz, backed Republican gubernatorial nominee Bob Beauprez for congress in 2004.
Now, any reasonable person would assume that Kolomitz switched sides because he was saddened by Both Ways Bob's failures and impressed by Ritter's vision. But not the GOP stenographers at The Rocky Mountain News. Apparently they're going to spin the news the way Both Ways Bob tells them to.
And then there's this nauseating and misleading quote from Beauprez spokesperson John Marshall:
"I'm glad he could find it in himself to hold his nose and get through a Bill Ritter campaign despite his true convictions," said Marshall. "Hopefully after November he can go back to being a Bob Beauprez supporter."
Ugh. (No, I really mean that. Ugh.)
Kolomitz's support for Ritter is further evidence of Ritter's ability to appeal to a wide range of voters. But the Rocky missed that entirely. Is this the sort of coverage we can expect for the rest of the election?

I heart your movie quotes. It's much-needed levity in my day. And I miss seeing you and am waiting with bated breath for a lack-of-independence day update.
Give me a break. Don't ever read the Rightwing Mountain News.
