Get The Hook
Mitt Romney had great success with Michigan Rep. Pete Hoekstra and his son, Bryan, on Friday. The same was true Saturday, when he was traveling with former Missouri Sen. Jim Talent and his son, Michael, and attorney Jay Sekulow and his son, Jordan. But today, Romney was joined by former Colorado congressman and failed gubernatorial candidate, Bob Beauprez. And Beauprez had one bizarre foot-in-mouth moment.
Parts of Beauprez's introductions:
"I'm very, very proud of our Republican field."
"I tell people, 'Mitt Romney was to business what Elvis Presley was to music.' He was a rock star, he stood out, he set a whole new standard."
"Then he went to the Salt Lake Olympics -- extremely difficult circumstances -- and if it wasn't tough enough already, they threw in a little event called 9/11 on top of it to complicate matters. He pulled that off in great style."

The "little event" comment was clearly meant to be ironic, expressing the enormity of 9/11.

Romney better be careful of running around with Bob Beauprez.
Beauprez is toast in Colorado because he was weak on illegal immigration. Colorado Republicans refer to him as Both Ways Beauprez and Both Ways Bob. Beauprez is a negative to the GOP supporters who want secure borders. He previously owned a bank which accepted Matricular cards. Romney needs Tancredo and Sheriff Arpaio to campaign with him. Beauprez is a major negative to Romney. He better dump him. It's been said that Beauprez has many political problems these days.

Nobody cares about Bob Beauprez, so there is no reason to have him on tour with Mitt Romney. Beauprez is a has-been, just ask Colorado voters.
His comments about 9-11 are living proof that his IQ is not in the 3 digits.
