Too little, too late for Bob Beauprez

Marc Holtzman is behaving like a like a frat boy on the last night of spring break. He's struck out with easy targets, angered his friends, and spent all his money. But for some reason he thinks one more margarita might turn the whole thing around.

But as deluded as Holtzman sounds, Both Ways Bob Beauprez is even worse. Because he seems to believe that Holtzman's self-destruction will allow him to move towards the political center.

Both Ways, it's way too late for you.

The voters have already watched you waffle. The business community has already rolled its eyes at your financial ineptitude. Your attack ads have already sullied the airwaves. Your misleading rhetoric has already taught Colorado that you can't be trusted. Your military posturing has already angered veterans. And your lockstep voting with President George W. "29%" Bush has already exposed you as the soulless political animal you are.

Meanwhile, Democratic candidate Bill Ritter has developed concrete plans to save Colorado's environment, economy and healthcare system.

Sure, I hope Holtzman decides to take his case to the Colorado Supreme Court. It'll make for good blogging. But even if Holtzman dropped off the face of the earth, it wouldn't matter. Bill Ritter is going to the governor's mansion. And Both Ways is heading home.
