Very nice of Senator Bennet.
It's hard to forget the Andrew of that campaign.
I also recall that a day or 2 after the election when AR had a party to raise $ to retire his debt Bennet's wife went and gave him a check
It makes me sick. I'll never support Bennet. I hope he faces a primary again. This time Coloradans will not be fooled. Bennet should resign.
JO, is that you?
You speak for a narrow and bitter little fringe, not for all Coloradans.
Actually, it does give me the warm fuzzies. Now if only the Romanoff supporters and we Bennet supporters can also bury the hatchet, CD-6 should go Dem this time around and many cycles into the future. Things are looking bright.
I'd feel warmer and fuzzier if Romanoff wasn't sticking with his no PAC pledge for a race like this. Coffman will get tons of money to keep the seat. It's one of the only ones that could turn from R to D. It could be part of a wave to take back the House. We CD6 Dems finally have a real shot for the first time and Romanoff is more interested in parading his purity than in winning the damn thing. And this from the guy who was happy to hire on super sleaze Pat Caddell in 2010 until word got out and everybody had a cow.
I answered a campaign begging e-mail with my concerns and got a reply from Ken Gordon about how they're sticking with their high minded principles. Great. If anyone can lose this seat for us in 2014 for sure, it's Ken Gordon. The pity is, Romanoff could win this thing with the new improved district, all the money he'd be getting without his precious purity pledge and without the exasperating Gordon in a campaign leadership position.
Romanoff sure wasn't anti-PAC when he was winning us a majority in the State legislature. Au contraire. As a CD6er, I'm really, really not a happy camper right now. For a while there I thought I was going to have a Dem US Rep. With their most recent track records, Ken and Andrew strike me as the blind the leading the blind.
Totally with you on the campaign funding, BC. But still hopeful Dems can unite behind him. After the Bennet/Romanoff house burner, that'll be a good part of the battle. Meanwhile, it's still early.
This is my reply to the Romanoff campaign contribution e-mail just received 3/7/13. I have not received a reply back.
I plan to become a donor once you drop your ideologic but unrealistic opposition to Super-PAC funding. Follow Obama's lead here.
If Romanoff can win without selling his soul to Wall St., that would be wonderful. I think your point is good, but I also think Romanoff makes a very good point on this. I'm quite happy to support him with his no PAC pledge.
First, if he doesn't have alternate huge funding, such as a billionaire or two in his corner, the universe of let's all get together with our private contributions crowd for a CD race like this isn't large enough to fund a fight for one of the seats that will be fought for on a national scale with the other side taking all the money it can get its hands on.
Second, not all PACs are Wall Street. Plenty represent hard working citizens.
Third, the combined track record of Romanoff and pal Gordon winning anything other than a safe D small pond district is non-existent. And now they propose doing it with a huge self imposed handicap? Not very encouraging. Especially the part wher Gordon has anything like a big role in it.
Fourth, I think someone who so enthusiastically embraced PAcs while serving in elected office and building a state level majority and who was most recently not at all too fussy to hire Pat Caddell is probably not so much pure as assuming purity for purposes of making a self righteous point, (who knows why. He can't think it gives him enough political advantage to be worth it since he doesn't have to differentiate himself from fellow centrist Bennet this time around) which I would prefer he do on his own dime, not mine.
I too will vote for Romanoff against Coffman (duh) but don't have enough extra money or time these days to be taking big gambles with the one or wasting the other. I would welcome a candidate who is more concerned about winning than with making a look at how noble and pure I am statement. Such a candidate would be a much better bet and those who aspire to pristine purity should choose another profession in any case. Nobody will ever mistake any politician for a saint.

Oh, well if Romanoff has your support, what could possibly go wrong.
You, dwyer and thousands of others – IT ONLY MATTERS IF YOU WIN.
The number of losing campaigns that have had any significane at all could be counted on one hand – and no one can name them.
Senator Warrren (MA) did it in an interesting way – she challeneged her opponent to forgoe PAC money and she would too. If (when) he didn't she would have to go along.
Brava! She gets to claim the high ground, acknowledge PAC money is a problem and still WIN.
No one – not even you DT – can suggest Senator Warren has soldout to Wall St or corp America
So when hge can prove he can win without PAC money – I'm in. Until then- he's just another D in CD6.
Same goes for most of us who started out back in the day as ignorant starry eyed idealist volunteers but have been around the block a few times since. Politics isn't an old Judy Garland Mickey Rooney movie. In real life, then as now, putting on a show in the barn didn't keep good ol' uncle Ned (or whoever) from losing the farm and blowing his brains out.

Good to read you Larry.
Ok, CD6 goes blue. Do you realize that leaves only 17 more CD races for a Democratic House Majority?
I'm hearing 5 currently red Districts are highly competitive nationally right now, and that doesn't count CD6. You go 6-6, we're down to 12 needed.

Thx, rocco. I took a little stand-back-and-watch R&R, very happy with the way you, Duke, BC, Ari and others were handling the dirty work. Meanwhile, not finding enough synonyms to toss at Repubs, I guess I'll have to fall back on the old reliable asshole, and start carrying my weight again.
