What in the world is Both Ways Bob going to do after the election?
No more dairy cows, no more dairy farm, no more bank, and soon no job in Washington. His poor planning, leadership, and follow-through on his campaign, along with all his Both Ways disasters, means he may have to settle for an unwanted early retirement!
The rest of us will be celebrating with our new Governor — Bill Ritter!!!
One of the right-wing think tanks will hire him for his insites on how not to run an election campaign.
Im sure he will be able to get his foot in the door somewhere with his new fat checkbook.

At least Chuck Todd of MSNBC thinks it is a possibility.

(Hover the mouse cursor over the red pin in Colorado. Let it sit for a second and a thing will pop up.)
Anyone else think this is realistic?
Well the comment changed. It did say something to the effect of “If Beauprez can make up some ground here at the end he might be a frontrunner to run for Senate in 2008.”
Mark Udall will wait in anticipation to see who he faces after the GOP primary: Allard the Potted Plant, Back to the Border Tancredo, or the recycled Both Ways Bob!
let it be Both Ways Bob.
First order of business is to send out a blast email telling potential campaigns NOT to hire John Marshall.
This was one of his biggest mistakes of his campaign, keeping this punk kid in charge. (Makes you wonder how well of a job Holtzman could have done)
but Holtzman would have been even be worse (if you can even fathom something worse than BB’s campaign). Holtzy is a total weasel.
Holtz would have: kept the base fired up, successfully shored up the business community, run an aggressive mail program, dumped at least 4 mil of his own cash into the race, defined Ritter as a typical liberal, saturated the airwaves with issue-oriented ads, stood up to attack and never have given up.
Say what you will – but he was a tenacious and vicious campaigner. And he was the perfect “outsider” candidate.
Those delegates to the state assembly are clearly checking themselves right now.
Holtzy would have run an aggressive campaign. Problem is he’s a delusional paranoid who does really, really strange things from time to time.
The blame for Beauprez’s horible campaign and the GOP’s demise in Colorado rests on the shoulders of Shari Williams, Sean Tonner, Rich Beeson, and Alan Philp.
yourself – no publicity is bad publicity. Your campaign phrase for today’s spam – Both Ways Bob hits WashPo top 10 list of campains.
who attended the Saturday rally with the President in Greeley that Bush did not mention BWB’s name when he mentioned all of the Republican candidates they should be supporting (to the gasps of many in the audience). Can anyone substantiate that? Perhaps it was a simple mistake — or the fact that Beauprez wouldn’t commit to being in attendance until the very last minute, and just “showed up”.
bushie is getting PO’d because nobody wants to be near him to get his/her head fondled/molested, or a quick feel by the molester in command, or smell sulfer from a blast by a stinker of a prez.
Just watching the reports coming in about how PO’d rovian is because (in the closet) Crist went to a different part of Florida to avoid being seen with the decider.
If governor candidates won’t be any where near the result of too many street drugs, what more can be said of the repubs.
go here and see what their saying about BWB: (may the cannabalism begin)

Bush was probably ticked off that Beauprez left a reasonably safe seat (incumbents without scandals usually get re-elected to the House, regardless of party) to run for governor. It doesn’t matter to Bush who the governor is (unless a Katrina hits).
Ritter should have been spending tonight worrying either about a possible last minute surge by Beauprez or trying to generate a surge of his own. Beauprez’s absolute lack of effective campaigning handed this race to Ritter. I’m not saying Ritter would have automatically lost against a well run campaign, he’s run a very good campaign and is probably the best candidate the Dems could have run for the office outside of Ken Salazar.
What I mean is that the way everything was handled, from the campaigns launch, to the “boomerang” attack ads, to the PR response to any setback, made one wonder who would answer the phone at campaign headquarters, Larry, Moe, or Curley.
There seems to be a clear effect downticket from this as well. Several of the statewide races that should not have been close, given the candidates involved, are in real contention according to the polls (for what thats worth).
If some of these go Democratic, it may be less Ritters coattails and more Beauprez lead boots.
you have to hand it to Ritter’s team — they appear to have run a near-flawless campaign and could capitalize (seeminly in minutes) on each and every gaffe that fell out of BWB’s mouth. The “team behind the man” makes the difference.
NEW POLL RESULT:
RITTER: 60%
Flip Flop Bob: 40%

I absolutely hope the Pubes continue to refuse to learn any lessons, and continue to run flawed candidates in lame-ass campaigns. I cannot imagine who Udall would destroy more handily… Both Ways, Sen. Dullard, or Loony-Tunes Tancredo? In any case, John Marshall will probably be looking for a job as campaign manager. Is this guy the Dem’s secret weapon, or what?
