Washington Post misses on gubernatorial race: Part 2
The AP quickly changed the headline of the story in question. But Colorado Media Matters reports that a false headline wasn't the only problem with the story:
The original version of a September 26 Associated Press article by reporter Steven K. Paulson about the "problems dogging" the campaign of Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez uncritically quoted Beauprez's false claim that Democratic candidate Bill Ritter "declared himself pro-life, then said he'd make exceptions for anomalies.

17 point deficits tend to make candidates and their keepers desperate. All I know is, I can't count all the Ritter signs in Littleton but counting the Beauprez signs between my neighborhood, south of Ridge, up through downtown Littleton and north to Belleview is easy: all two of them. I just saw three Ritter signs on Lafayette in Cherry Hills and not a single Beauprez. This is a toss-up?
