Smackdown #1: Breaking news! Beauprez to attend debate!

I have exclusive breaking news about today's gubernatorial debate. Early indications are that Both Ways Bob Beauprez will actually show up, instead of sending SD23 Republican Shawn Mitchell to debate in his place.

Yes, I'm being snarky. But only a little. Mitchell has taken Beauprez's place at gubernatorial forums on healthcare and business. Don't be surprised tonight if "Beauprez" looks a lot younger than you thought he was.
