Whatever party’s banner Romanoff runs under, the question–still–is: what can he do better than Bennet other than promise (after a career of taking PAC money happily) that in the primary campaign he won’t take PAC contributions? He’s no smarter, no more articulate, no more effective, no more dedicated than Bennet has already proven to be in the year in which he has served us as senator. R’s supporters argue that he’s more progressive, but they certainly don’t want to discuss his role in making Colorado laws some of the most anti-immigrant in the nation. Even if on a few issues R somehow could be considered marginally more progressive than Bennet, the Senate needs effective action, not just ideology.
I was in DC last week..
I’m glad that the health care bill passed.
All of us “Tea Party” folks need to make sure we hold Republicans responsible for their actions. While Republicans were in control of the government we lost our civil liberties and built up a giant budget deficit.
It’s high time that we disrupt status quo. The only way we can do this is by supporting “tea party” candidates that run against the Republican Party establishment. This means that we need to fight against Jane Norton and McInnis, and not stop until the final vote has been cast in November.
The only chance we have at “getting our country back” is by taking on the Republican Establishment. The Republican party is trying to trick us into believing that we win by electing them, this is propaganda!
they don’t make a lot of sense.

Although, there’s not much more to be said here. Andrew Romanoff has no shot even if he were to raise $500,000. He likely squeezed all he could out of his limited number of hardcore donors. That said, it’s time to talk about the race against Norton.
Or lack thereof to be more accurate.
Romanoff’s fundraising has been enemic, but he only needs to have about $1.6M for TV in the last 8 weeks to knock Bennet out.
Bennet has raised a lot of money, spent a lot of money and has a lot of money he has raised that he can’t spend in the primary. No one in the media, including the geniuses at the Post and Mr Cillizza thinks the amount of money a candidate has to spend, not what they have raised is the important factor.
At this point after burning through over $650K per month with Rapid Burn Rate, spending over $1M on the caucus loss, blowing $200K per week on wasted TV and having over $2M in general election funds not available for the primary, I bet Bennet has less than $900K in his primary account.
Unless you mean something that involves putting a hose up his ass.
Sorry, couldn’t resist 🙂
Bennet isn’t spending nearly that much on TV. Closer to half that on a per-week basis.
I apologize for stating the obvious, but there is a nominal win and a strategic win here. AR had a nominal win in that he received 8%-9% points more than Bennet in a beauty contest that was always heavily weighed in favor of AR given the traditional die-hard support of democratic insiders. I don’t think that anyone with even a modicum of understanding of CO Dem politics expected Bennet to win. The fact that he closed a projected gap of 30% to 8% within 30 days, is nothing short of an incredible strategic win. And don’t think this wasn’t noted nationally, as well as, locally.
But I think the result was a product of Romanoff’s lack of a strategic plan as much as it was the presence of one for Bennet.
