Bennet has more individual donors than any other candidate in the race. He has more individual donors from Colorado than any other candidate in the race.
And through 1Q 2010* Bennet’s contributions were approx 18% from PAC/corp donors. The other 82$ was from individual donors. That’s a lower percentage of PAC/corp donors than any other member of the Colorado Congressional delegation, except Polis who is self funded. Which of the rest do you consider corrupt? Degette? Perlmutter? Udall? Coffman? Markey? Just name names so I can tell i f you are sincerly concerned about PAC donations or just FUS?

And remember, you get the government you vote for.
Romanoff has been lying for months . Getting him to tell the truth about his own career is very difficult. It depends upon what the definition of”IS” is.
1. backed invasion of Iraq
2. Wrote discriminatory immigration law
3. Never backed EFCA
4. Took plenty of Pac money
5. Had his own pac
6. Has lifestyle problem v reported income
7, Should attack all his supporters that take PAC
8. Won’t say Bill Clinton repealed Glass-Steagall
9. Can’t decide which office to run for
10 lies about Michael Bennet
That’s just a start
Ahhh, the Dog Days of Summer.
Ballot is going out in the mail. Only one contested race here–Sen. Bennet got my vote.
Me, I’m off to Rocky Grass. Have fun slurring each others candidate.
(PS: It’s Friday for me)
Romanoff’s PAC did still exist when he started running. It was dormant and he then shut it down – but it was still in existence when he started.
Would you phrase it differently? Yep. But that’s spin, not lying. And I’m sure the Bennet campaign has equal complaints about Romanoff’s ads.
before starting his Senate run. Now, he’s flailing at Bennet for being as corrupt as Romanoff was four days earlier.
It’s like a lecture on temperance from the town drunk!
If you want to be accurate you should have finished with
What I find interesting is that Bennet does not dispute the argument that the PACs buy influence but rather counters with Romanoff is just as bad. That’s a pretty poor argument, both that Bennet accepts the view that the PACs corrupt the recipients and because Romanoff has moved beyond PACs.
The reformed alcoholic can speak to the evils of alcoholism much better than the person who’s never had a drink.
If he were reformed, his donor list would not be almost entirely comprised of lawyers and lobbyists.
I am a bit skeptical about his staying power.
Another analogy might be Wm F. Buckley’s lovely tale of the town harlot blushing deep scarlet because somebody uttered the word “damn” in her presence.
He’ll have a sudden general election re-alignment based on a new set of goals and objectives.
But the 527s and the Rs will pummel him endlessly. That’s why I say I think he’s trying to win the primary on terms that will preclude his winning the general. I still think AR is a good man, but this has been a really bad campaign.
