The Whites are good people and Republican. That does not fly in these times.
Across the state, what moderate Republicans, not to mention
progressives, describe as the worst-case scenario has taken place. On
the Western Slope, a moderate Republican Senator, Jean White,
was hounded from office for daring to vote in favor of civil unions
legislation supported by the vast majority of the public. The man who
defeated her, Rep. Randy Baumgardner, helped lead the
obstruction against civil unions in the House this year, and was richly
rewarded by out-of-state conservative attack groups who funded a smear
campaign against Sen. White. The push to defeat Sen. White after her
brave vote was so great that Baumgardner won despite revelations about
an unregistered sex offender living in his home.
