More information about "Both Ways Bob headed to the pokey?"

Why did Both Ways Bob Beauprez think he could get away with breaking the law? Perhaps because he thought Ritter, who has a big lead in the polls, wouldn't risk going after him. What Beauprez forgot is that Ritter has spent much of his life enforcing Colorado law. He's not stopping out of political expediency.

Advocacy groups are joining Ritter's call for an investigation. The Post blogs:

A liberal advocacy group urged the FBI on Sunday to investigate whether Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez's campaign violated federal or state laws by accessing the highly restricted National Crime Information Center database. ProgressNowAction sent its request to the FBI on Sunday and plans to send an e-mail titled "Beauprez Gate" today to its more than 50,000 members calling for an FBI probe into the Beauprez campaign.

The Rocky adds:

Michael Huttner, director of ProgressNow, said Sunday he believes it is a conflict of interest for the state to handle the probe... Huttner noted that the CBI is one of the agencies that reports to Joe Morales, head of the Department of Public Safety. Huttner said Morales has contributed $1,000 to Beauprez's campaign.
