Just wishful thinking…
Shall we start a Draft J.F.G. movement?
Bingo! Primary.
buy a table at a big Democratic dinner. Then in six months you’ve got yourself a primary!
Wow. He’s in a bad way. Worse than I already thought.

It’s not because the GOP has fielded any candidates worth voting for.
A friend and I were playing the Asian game Go in a coffee shop. A man we knew to be a master player was watching the game closely, and frowning.
After I made a move that I thought was clever, he gave a heavy sigh and said, “hopeless.”
“Which side is hopeless,” I asked, “black or white?”
He shrugged and said, “Both.”
Will Ritter be re-elected? Maybe not, but then again… nobody is likely to beat him either, so there you are.
are the voters.
“Vote for Ritter. He’s better than a Republican.”
It got him elected the first time.
“Vote Ritter. He’s better than a Republican by a tiny margin and he doesn’t give a lump of steaming hash what you think or want in a Governor.” Sounds a little long, but catchy.
After Romanoff takes the nomination, Democrats will pull together in excitement and support the whole ticket. Key will be the unaffiliateds and any remaining moderate Republicans.
Will Democrats still pull together in excitement and support the whole ticket?
There’s no “if” in this case. Romanoff’s political career is over no matter what anybody wants to think. The national political machine is pushing him out of the way and he’s never going to have real support ever again.
If I had to bet something meaningful, I’d go with Bennet. But to assert that Romanoff’s political career is over and that he will never have “real support” again is both unfounded and ridiculous. He doesn’t have national party support in this race–that doesn’t preclude him from their support down the road.
Nothing precludes him running for Gov in 2014 (except Cary Kennedy’s ambition.)
If he gets the crap beaten out of him in a primary of choice, and it ends up costing the Democratic party the seat, then I doubt that he will be able to run another high-profile campaign so soon.
Although if anybody could overcome such negativity, it would probably be Romanoff.
Andrew’d have to muck up Bennett with some dirt that Norton would use to beat him that she couldn’t come up with on her own for him to toast his career.
Bennett may be a lackluster campaigner fully capable of losing the seat on his own. Romanoff’s primary would have to be the reason for the loss. Spending money he could have saved for the general could do in Bennett, but the R will be drained from a primary too.
I just don’t think Andrew’s interested in the executive branch. Otherwise he could have taken any of the number of placeholder jobs he’s been floated for while biding his time to 2014. I think he sees this as his last opportunity for a LOOONG time for the job he really wants.
If he were elected, I think he’d be the poorest member of “the world’s most exclusive millionairesb club.”
This race is about Andrew getting the job Andrew wants. Nothing wrong with that, but I think that it’s a huge mistake, and his leadership qualities are needed in this state–not in Washington.
…his particular answer could not have been so deliberately specific, could it?
When AR doesn’t win- and perhaps withdraws for lack of $ – the D’s will not unite in an excited, GOTV and sweep Ritter into 4more.
Instead, the R’s will mistakenly smell blood in the water and think it’s their clue to move even further to the R. ANd the discussion amongst the swing voters will be about holding noses and fake whining about not getting better candidates.
I have gleeful R neighbors who see the approval numbers for Congress- Pelosi and Reid in particular – and the President and Governor slipping and feel vindicated. See- the center/right conservative majority is waking up.
They are not amused when I point out that the slipping approval on almost any issue is equal part swing votes, well, swinging and D’s venting their frustration with our elected officials that they don’t move further left fast enough.
Citing just Reid and Pelosi? Aren’t there two sides of the aisle in Congress?
Yes, apparently there are. Reid’s numbers are certainly in the crapper. Just 31 percent favorable and 57 percent unfavorable. Pelosi’s too: 34 percent favorable and 57 percent unfavorable.
But each has a counterpart on the other side of the aisle. Reid’s counterpart, Mitch McConnell, is polling at just 18 percent favorable and 64 percent unfavorable. Pelosi’s counterpart, John “this is a real suntan, dammit” Boehner is polling at just 12 percent favorable and 63 percent unfavorable.
Your neighbors are seeing half the story. Everything is relative.
I don’t think it really matters whether Romanoff wins or not, who wins the Governorship. The general monkey-mass that is the public mind does not connect Romanoff with Ritter. All they know is Ritter is a 50-50 self-serving guy and Romanoff is running contrary to his appointed pick. No real connection there to the public. “Party activists” want Dems in all offices, regardless.
or, did I miss the return?

Thinks he is Kenny.
