Breaking: Regent Schauer quits race
5/16/2008 - 8:07am
Paul Schauer, the embattled CU regent, dropped out of his primary fight for reelection yesterday, according to the Rocky Mountain News. Tillie Fong's story is on page 17 of the print Rocky today. I can't find it on their website or elsewhere online as yet. If Schauer put out a press release, the omniscient Mr. Google doesn't yet know about it.
But the story is more than plausible, after KOA's Mike Rosen pounded Schauer on the air Wednesday and Thursday -- ahead of Saturday's 6th congressional district Republican assembly where the veteran GOP pol faced a stiff challenge from Jim Geddes, MD. Rosen had called for Schauer's defeat in his May 9 column in the Rocky, on the grounds of Schauer's persistent alliance with minority Democrats on a regents board where Republicans have nominal 6-3 control.
I devoted two of my Post columns last August to Schauer's apostasy, and have since been involved with the recruitment of Geddes to oppose him. I'm scheduled to nominate Geddes at the 6th CD assembly in Castle Rock tomorrow.
