That’s not what the release says.
It says the UFCW rejected the call to amend the reconciliation bill – which they have.
As for the rest of you whining: boo-hoo.
Did you think the primary would sail along with negatives only coming from your guy?
Seeing how much of a corner Bennet put himself in is pretty funny. Sirota didn’t make Bennet promise something he couldn’t deliver on without permission from his handlers. Neither did Romanoff. Bennet himself vowed to do something that he wasn’t prepared to actually do. Now, as more Democrats get more worried about re-election, you really think Bennet is going to get a spine? He played a lot of people and now it’s biting him.
You, peacemngr, Caro and the lot spent months complaining about Romanoff’s supporters calling out Bennet for being a puppet of the Washington elite and special interests and insisting Bennet was too nice of a guy to ever go negative. Sure looks to me like Bennet is changing his game up – bringing out another out-of-stater to work for him and attack Romanoff with smears, half-truths and distortions.
The press release may not say “UFCW local 7 turns on Romanoff” but you know darn well that Kid Kincaid was trying to make it look like somebody once with Romanoff was changing their allegiance which just isn’t true.
Keep screaming that Bennet is a hero. The more that comes out about him, the more you’ll find yourself part of a shrinking group.
I’m sure there must be some tea party group you would fill welcome in. Romanoff has run a nasty campaign, even willing to play politics with the heath care bill – not my idea of a leader.
Now when Bennet fights back you get all huffy – what in that release was a smear? I guess it was OK with you when Romanoff brought in out-of staters to work for him? ( Celinda Lake, Pat Cadell- boy was that embarassing ).
Romanoff was not entitled to this senate seat – even though he and his supporters seem to thik otherwise. Many Colorado Democrats office holders and volunteers have a tremendous amount of work for this state’s Democratic party.
What JeffcoTrueBlue is doing here is well within the bounds of acceptable campaigning. Those of us that support Bennet may not like it, and can fire back in kind. But let’s not unfairly cast him in with the authoritarian thugs that has become the hallmark of the tea party movement.
shouldn’t talk politics – point well taken though.
We would add that it’s tiresome for supporters of any candidate, in any race, to feign indignation over “negative” campaigning unless their candidate absolutely refuses to do anything that would be considered “negative.” Every campaign does it to some degree. Hold the tears, please.
One of the many “pro-romanoff” diaries I see on pols?
see: http://www.coloradopols.com/di…
and http://www.coloradopols.com/di…
There are a few other posts. Hardly any diaries that fit the “pro-romanoff” description. Lot’s of Bennet bashing. Lots more whining and complaining that campaigning and stuff is so hard.
More than one editor has indicated they will front page ’em if and when they are written.
And more than one poster has suggested that some of the anti-Bennet hooha from apparent pro-Romanoff posters may actually be from pro-R posters.
when he first entered the race was that although he talked about how well he had done in Colorado state politics and how great his biography was, he never gave a compelling reason to defeat Bennet.
Now that giving people a reason to oppose Bennet is a common strategy, we wonder where the pro-Romanoff stuff is. Not really sure what kind of campaign Romanoff supporters could run that would be acceptable to the Bennet supporters.
A losing one? That’s probably a safe bet.
An honest one.
Was that he had no message.
Then it was that there was no differentiation between himself and Bennet.
But bluemountains asked and I addressed the supporters in particular, not the campaign. I’ve seen the campaign’s pro-Romanoff stuff, but where’s the “here’s why I am for Romanoff” posts?
Not many that don’t amount to HNB.
He has been heard to say that staff doesn’t matter. I disagree.
I take a man by his word personally.
Michael Bennet has not lied to me.
Speaker Romanoff has lied about his politcal ambition, his profession, and flip flops on the right to left spectrum depending upon what his advisors with views like Mr.Caddell profess.
It isn’t smear to tell the truth. We would have no health bill if Romanoff can be believed because he would not have been vote 60 in December. Then this just last week he puts out what a great victory it is and how it needs more than a letter to improve it.
I don’t know from his campaign if he is a reborn progressive, a Fox News Republican sock puppet, a DLC man of the year, or a master of double speak.
The youtube videos and stuff i have been emailed is a little….too much. When something is so ridiculous that I laugh out loud… I know it is silly season and it will probably get ugly soon.
I would worry if I were Romanoff. He has to have a way to get his message out, and not just to people that are on his email list. I guess I will just have to wait until end of quarter to see what will happen (sigh).
