Ed Schultz is really pulling for Andrew Romanoff.

1. I'd vote for this guy but I live in N. CA!

2. I Voted For Him Already!

3. The DNC still doesn't get it

Andrew Romanoff is the favorite of grassroots Colorado Democrats.

Meanwhile, the DNC and Washington insiders have been frantically phonebanking and throwing money at Michael Bennet. Obama has also been pressuring people to get in line.

What a slap in the face to the vast majority of Colorado Democrats who voted for Romanoff over Bennet (60-40%) at our state convention.

4. What about integrity?

"Mr. Romanoff and I discussed the necessity of Democrats running a clean campaign. He said he understood then, as I did, that negative campaigning suppresses the vote, disempowers the electorate, and divides the political party. He understood all of those factors could lead to a loss in November, and may have long-term damaging effects for the Democratic party in CO. He promised me he would stick to the facts and to policy differences, and would not attack Senator Bennet personally, or use slander.

The evidence is mounting more and more every day, however, that Andrew Romanoff lost his integrity along the way. Don't trust me. Take a look at what major newspapers and television stations across CO have said ..."

6. Integrity belongs to Romanoff on this issue, too.

What Bennet is complaining about (whining, I would say) is some ads that Romanoff is running that talk about Bennet's work for Philip Anschutz (sp), a well-known political contributor in this state. (In fact it is fairly well known that Bennet's appointment was payback for campaign contributions that Anschutz made to Ritter.) What was hysterical was that a day or two before the Denver Post blasted Romanoff for the ad, they ran a story that looked at the same deal that the ad referred to, and slammed Bennet for it. You'd think they were talking about two different people.

I keep thinking that if Bennet can't handle Romanoff's "attacks" which are fact-checked more than once, he's got no business trying to run against Republicans who will just make stuff up.

7. Actually, what IS "fairly well known"

is that the Colorado media found Romanoff's ads to be lacking in the fact-checking department. More than once the word 'fiction' was applied to the allegations. As nasty as he's gotten toward a fellow Democrat, it's surprising that Andrew hasn't changed his name to Rovanoff. And there are a great many Democrats who are profoundly disappointed in Andrew's behavior in this campaign. Profoundly disappointed. Regardless of Tuesday's outcome, Andrew Romanoff will have to spend the rest of his career rebuilding the trust and respect that he has thrown away. What a waste.

5. Seems the real deal to me, let's hope it's a good seat we pick up.
