HoltzmanWatch (6/19): Judge Orders Holtzman Off August Primary Ballot

And Holtzman receives the requisite stay of execution as the judge allows for Holtzman's appeal. But if the Colorado Supreme Court refuses to hear the case, Holtzman says he'll back Beauprez for governor, which is the best political move he can make at this point of the game (video):

"We will accept and abide by the decision of the Supreme Court," Holtzman said.

"The alternative (to a Republican governor) is unthinkable for Colorado's future," he said.

Until that time, of course, Holtzman will continue to campaign.
