Beauprez Wins GOP Nod in Colorado

“Faced with the choice of a far-right candidate or a more moderate mainstream pick, Colorado Republicans chose the latter Tuesday, selecting former Congressman Bob Beauprez as the party’s gubernatorial nominee,” the Denver Post reports.

“The dairy farmer-turned-banker-turned-buffalo rancher got into the GOP contest late as Republicans worried they didn’t have a viable candidate to defeat Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper in November. Now the party believes it has a fighting chance of unseating an incumbent whose popularity has teeter-tottered much of the past year.”
