Just as in Virginia with Senator Allen, Colorado Democrats and their allies in the Denver Post are working over Bob Beauprez in his campaign to become Colorado's governor. Beauprez's gaffe was that he said the abortion rate among black Americans is as high as 70%. According to David Harsanyi, the Guttmacher Institute puts the figure at 43% for 2002. Is any so-called leader of Colorado blacks saying anything about this appalling statistic? No, the "leaders" quoted by the Post are only talking about Beauprez hurting their feelings.
The Post writers, with Harsanyi being the exception, are also constantly referring to a gaffe made by Beauprez's running mate, a former child protection worker and County Commisioner in Grand Junction. She compared gay marriage with bestiality, as the journalists remind us every day. The Denver Post will endorse the Democrat. That is as sure a bet as anyone could ever make. So Mr. Beauprez and his running mate can ignore the daily attacks, stop apologizing, and provide some moral leadership by actually taking clear stands on issues the voters are concerned about!
Update: Ben DeGrow has more information about the role of the Denver Post in helping the Democrats.
