Marc Holtzman's campaign picks more fights than any other campaign it seems to us. Now they're focusing on their own party, according to the Denver Post.
From the article, "Republican gubernatorial candidate Marc Holtzman's campaign on Wednesday complained that the state party is making phone calls endorsing rival Bob Beauprez.
"In a letter to the state Republican Party chairman, the Holtzman campaign accused the party of spreading 'false and misleading' information in a series of phone calls to donors...
"Rachael Sunbarger, spokeswoman for the state Republican Party, said the party investigated the complaint last week and found an "isolated incident" where a fundraising phone caller went off script and discussed a poll showing Beauprez holding a wide lead over Holtzman.
"'This is an isolated incident, but we do take it seriously,' Sunbarger said. 'We're not going to tolerate that kind of behavior.'
"The caller, who works for an outside vendor hired by the party, was disciplined, Sunbarger said. The party reported its findings and the conclusion to the Holtzman campaign last week.
"Dick Leggitt, campaign manager for Holtzman, said the campaign is not satisfied with that response and wants a list of people called so that they can verify the message coming from the party. The campaign also wants the party to drop the vendor because the Beauprez campaign also uses it."
Mr. Holtzman certainly remembers the lukewarm treatment received by Bob Schaefer from the state Republican party in 2004.
