Beauprez's debate surrogate [heart] Ritter

Both Ways Bob Beauprez sent yet another surrogate to debate in his place and hilarity ensued, according to today's Post:

...Greg McKnight, a Greenwood Village businessman, was knowledgeable on the issues, but at times his positions - including support for Referendum C last year - seemed more in tune with Democrat Bill Ritter's.

"It's been a pleasant exchange today," Ritter said at the end of the forum, noting how much he agreed with McKnight and differed with Beauprez, who opposed the referendum that will funnel hundreds of millions of dollars to transportation projects.

"He could be my boss," a smiling McKnight said, nodding at Ritter...


Yeah, it's kinda funny that even Beauprez's supporters have such respect for Ritter. But the bigger point here is that Ritter has the ability to build consensus across party lines.
