Even more amusing is that Salazar probably received more gay votes than Coors anyway. Just goes to show you what happens when Republicans pander to the the unpanderable.
True. Unfortunately for the Republicans I think Coors' campaign was very negatively influenced by his company...from the alcohol association to the company's pandering to minority groups.
I think a distinction should be made: The company pandered to gays because they were being boycotted and getting a lot of negative publicity. I don't think Pete Coors ever thought he could get the gay vote! And before you stop drinking Coors beer, remember all of the conservative causes they have supported over the years: the Coors family was one of the major backers of Reagan's career, and the major funder of the Heritage foundation, and other conservative thinktanks. You can read about it in "Citizen Coors" if you like...
