Has it really come to this?

Square State and about 6 billion other blogs are reporting that Bob Beauprez has scheduled a press conference for 9:30 tomorrow morning, at which he will attempt to exploit the victims of a traffic accident that Bill Ritter was in 20 years ago when he was a missionary in Africa. (The Denver Post included the accident in their profile of Ritter, which you can read here.)

At first, I couldn't believe that Beauprez would do something so ugly. But then I thought about the way that he tried to politicize the Bailey tragedy last night. And I realized that maybe Beauprez isn't just a flip-flopping political careerist. Maybe he's actually a bad person.

I wish I could go to the capitol tomorrow morning to see the truth with my own eyes. But I can't. In fact, I'm not going to be anywhere near a computer for most of the day. So I'm going to have to rely on the Rocky.

Beauprez will destroy his personal reputation and the chances of Republican candidates across the state if he goes through with the press conference. There should be some partisan part of me that actually wants it to happen. But there isn't. I'm not there yet. For the good of the state, for the good of the democratic process, I hope Beauprez puts a stop to this.

Does Beauprez means to bend our state to his awe, or break it all to pieces? If it's true, it's madness.
