Romanoff Sells His Crib, Which is Miracle In Itself

Democrat Andrew Romanoff has sold his Washington Park house and used most of the proceeds to shore up his underfunded Senate bid against incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet. As Eli Stokols of Fox 31 reports:

Romanoff, who bought his home one block of east of Washington Park in the 1990s, sold it to a developer for $360,000. From that, he loaned $325,000 to his campaign.

Last quarter, Romanoff raised $620,000 in contributions, his campaign’s best showing to date. Bennet’s campaign raised $1.63 million during the same period.

Given that the U.S. is suffering through the worst housing market ever, maybe Romanoff should be touting his real estate skills as a candidate.
