Hilarious for a moment, then you realize it actually makes a lot of sense. From today's Cherry Creek News:

Gordon offers to help Republicans ballot

Secretary of State candidate Ken Gordon announced today that he will make himself available to assist the Republican Party in the counting of votes at their May 20th convention.

The Associated Press reported Wednesday that Republican Gubernatorial candidate Marc Holtzman is considering circumventing the convention process, citing "too many unanswered questions" and "a potential for widespread fraud and manipulation" in the handling and counting of ballots. Holtzman faces Congressman Bob Beauprez in the Republican primary.

In a news report in the Rocky Mountain News, Dick Leggitt, Holtzman campaign manager, pointed out that at the 2004 Republican convention, 400 more people voted than attended.

"The Holtzman-Spradley campaign appears to have legitimate concerns about the ability of the Republicans to accurately count the votes in their own preference poll," said Gordon. "In the interest of bipartisan cooperation, I am glad to offer the Republican candidates my assistance in the counting of votes at their convention."

You betcha. Besides, says the good Senator,

"I think that neither candidate is any better than the other."

(chuckle) No doubt. Does open the obvious question, though: if this is how they behave amongst themselves, what kind of contempt do you suppose they have for real elections?
