    The April month kicks off a round of surprisingly choice political gossip that you heard here first on the First.“Which Way?”
    Bob Beauprez will announce his candidacy for U.S. Senate in the very near future. That will give new meaning for the nickname “Both Ways Bob.” An anonymous Beauprez spokesman explained: “Bob ran for governor and since that didn’t work, now he has decided to run for Senate. He’s going to try to get back in office both ways and any way he can.”
