CO-Sen: Michael Bennet and Andrew Romanoff Appeal to the Progressive Netroots

•  
• by: Senate 2008 Guru

Senate Guru posed a simple question to the two Democrats running for U.S. Senate in 2010 from Colorado:

Why should the progressive netroots support your campaign in Colorado’s 2010 Democratic Senate primary?

Senator Michael Bennet and former State House Speaker Andrew Romanoff offer their responses in an appeal to the progressive netroots, exclusively on Senate Guru.

Highlights include:

Michael isn’t a fan of playing it safe. Last summer, while other senators hedged, Michael hit the road, and held town halls where he fought for health care reform – including a public option – in some of the most conservative areas of Colorado. Then Michael went on national television and said he would be willing to lose his seat in order to pass real health care reform, and he meant it.

Andrew has a true connection with every person who’s ever licked a stamp, knocked on a door, made a phone call or contributed on a blog to advance our cause. As the only candidate in this race refusing to take contributions from special interests and PACs, Andrew will never have to decide between what is best for his constituents and what is profitable for his contributors.
