The Republican Party has a major problem in the 2010 U.S. Senate race

  • 9 Comments
  • by: Republican 36

His name is United States Senator Mike Bennet.

Senator Bennet made his first appearance in Loveland, Colorado this afternoon and for those who have been concerned about his ability to carry a campaign, I believe you can breath a sigh of relief.

Senator Bennet appeared before a crowd of around 250 people after attending a smaller meeting of around 25 people. He was gregarious, friendly and connected very well on a personal level as he shook hands around the room.

In his speech, he was articulate and specifically addressed the issues and problems facing downtown Loveland. He demonstrated detailed knowledge of the local area and when he discussed his governing philosophy, those in attendance erupted in applause.

Bottom line: Senator Bennet has what it takes to be a great U.S. Senator and a great campaigner.  Governor Ritter made a great decision by selecting Mike Bennet for U.S. Senate.

    1. I thought his interview with the Rocky Friday was a good start

      Don’t agree with him on everything, but he knows where he stands and what he doesn’t know enough about to take a stand.

    1. My only concern was whether he would connect with people as a campaigner. In other words, did he have that innate ability to bond with people through his speeches and personal contact. That cannot be taught. Politicians either have it or they don’t. Senator Bennet has it.  

      1. It’s true, too, that Bennet has had some experience with retail politics, working Denver’s ballot questions during the early years of the Hickenlooper administration, and DPS bond issues, including the largest ever approved by Colorado voters on Nov. 4. Those things don’t pass themselves, and especially not by 2-to-1 margins.
