It's heresy I tell you. Heresy! A generally liberal newspaper must never be allowed the thought crime of endorsing a conservative Republican candidate in a major political race.
Such was the attitude of former presidential candidate Gary Hart(pence) in his angry letter to the editor of the Denver Post denouncing them for the high heresy of endorsing Cory Gardner over Mark Udall in the senate race from Colorado. What is most interesting about Hart's letter is what is not in it, namely any complaint about biased coverage on the part of the Denver Post. Instead Hart throws a conniption fit over the Denver Post expressing the "wrong" opinion from the liberal POV:

"...[R]epublics can commit no greater error than to adopt or continue any feature in their systems of government which may be calculated to create or increase the lover of power in the bosoms of those to whom necessity obliges them to commit the management of their affairs; and surely nothing is more likely to produce such a state of mind than the long continuance of an office of high trust."

You've got to feel just a little sorry for Gary Hart.
He's got to be looking at Bill Clinton and thinking "I'd be the hero of the Democrat party if I'd only kept it in my pants until the culture declined just a little bit further!"

Yeah, Gary Hartpence was about ten years too early...and about 20 years too late (think JFK).

Guy lives so far in the past he thinks newspaper endorsements make a difference.
Maybe he’s senile too, he’s forgotten about that thing called freedom of the press.

Amazing how the election season tends to draw long-obscure political figures out of the woodwork.

Hart gets bonus points for better taste, as well.

What was Gary Hart's biggest mistake?
Not having Ted Kennedy drive Donna Rice home.

Pretty weak bitch-slap from "appalled" Hartspence. Don't look for anything persuasive aside from Mr. Udall's family (his father was Mo Udall, of course, and his uncle, I believe, was Secretary of the Interior - both "belong to the ages, now).
One can't help but wonder how long Gary has been waiting to employ the word "gravitas."
