Clean Sweep for Bennet - DeGette endorses Michael Bennet

Earlier today, I received the following announcement from Congresswoman Diana DeGette

DENVER, CO – Congresswoman Diana DeGette (CO-1) today offered the following statement endorsing Michael Bennet for United States Senator from Colorado:

“I am proud to offer my support today to Michael Bennet to continue his service to Colorado as our United States Senator.

“Since he has been in the U.S. Senate, Michael Bennet has taken an important role in some of the biggest legislative issues of the day.  Senator Bennet offered provisions to the recently passed Wall Street reform bill that strengthen consumer protections, with mandatory disclosures and greater oversight to prevent the kind of economic meltdown we’re currently facing.  Last week, he proudly stood up against the ongoing obstruction of his Republican Senate colleagues to vote to extend unemployment benefits, finally bringing relief for Colorado families still struggling in these tough fiscal times.

“Senator Bennet and I share a commitment to the natural resources of our great state, and he has voted to protect wilderness and secure our water supply.  He has worked to protect jobs and create opportunities for Colorado families, and he fights every day to secure our nation’s fiscal future.  Senator Bennet was also a champion for Colorado as we all worked to provide Americans with access to affordable health insurance coverage.”

I am pretty sure this means Bennet has been endorsed by all the CO elected Ds in DC:  Udall, DeGette, Polis, Salazar, Markey, and .Perlmutter.

Previously it has been claimed that most D county chairs lean Romanoff, and at least one DPS Board member that is on AR”s paid staff also endorses him.  

It appears increasingly obvious that if AR does not win this election, he will have to primary DeGette and if he doesn’t win that, then Udall.
