GOP gubernatorial strategy gets odder still

One of Bill Ritter's greatest strengths is his record as district attorney. He has been endorsed by victim's advocates and a bipartisan coalition of law enforcement professionals. He has even been praised by the Republican nominee for attorney general John Suthers. Now consider this train of events:

1. The Beauprez campaign announces that they will attack Ritter's record as district attorney on Sept. 19. But the promised information was never released.

2. Instead, yesterday a new 527 called Coloradans for Justice launched a misleading attack ad on Ritter's record as district attorney.

So what's up? Did the Beauprez campaign collude with the new 527? If not, where is Beauprez's ever-so-shocking "cold case file"? And why is it three days late in appearing?

I'll be following up on this over the next few days, I'm sure. But I can confidently say that this strategy is a loser for the GOP. And that something smells fishy with Coloradans for Justice.

UPDATE: Here's a video of law enforcement professionals from both parties endorsing Bill Ritter for Governor.
