...And there go the endorsements

A follow up on this morning's post. Apparently The Grand Junction Sentinel has removed its endorsement of Democratic gubernatorial nominee Bill Ritter from its website and contacted a couple of media watchdog groups "repeatedly," asking them to take their links down. What gives? I have no idea.

Want even more endorsement oddness? Well, legions of prominent Republicans, Republican law enforcement officers and newspapers in Republican areas have crossed party lines to endorse Ritter. But to my knowledge, only two prominent Democrats have endorsed Both Ways Bob Beauprez - two lawyers from Brownstein Hyatt and Farber. But I had to laugh this morning when I read how half-hearted their support of Beauprez really is. From the Rocky:

Both [Ritter and Beauprez] are stand-up guys... I made a commitment to Bob Beauprez because of a longstanding relationship. The state couldn't go wrong with either candidate.

This will go down as the second most famous instance of damning with faint praise in the history of Colorado politics.
