Colorado Indpendent: Romanoff planning primary challenge to Bennet for Senate seat

[eleny]

"Former House Speaker Andrew Romanoff is readying a primary challenge to incumbent Democratic U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, The Denver Post reports Friday night.

Supporters urged Romanoff to mount a primary challenge to Gov. Bill Ritter, whose surprise appointment of Bennet left some party activists angry, the Post’s Michael Riley and Christopher N. Osher report, but the 43-year-old Denver Democrat has instead decided to take on Bennet.

Romanoff has offered a campaign staff position to a “veteran Democratic strategist,” the Post reports, and plans to make an announcement next month. Romanoff’s campaign could rely on supporters — including labor groups — who “pledged to back him” if he challenged Ritter."

1. Oh hell yes.

I'm backing him 100%.

He was my state rep, and Bennet is the wrong player for us, so his DINO ass is gonna be tossed out.

2. Neither one of them are very far left.

But Romanoff knows politics. He's got my vote.
