Allegations that the White House offered Joe Sestak a job in exchange for dropping out of the Pennsylvania Senate race echo an earlier report of a job offer to candidate Andrew Romanoff in Colorado.
On September 27, 2009 the Denver Post reported that the Obama administration offered Senate candidate Romanoff a position if he canceled plans to run for the Democratic nomination against incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet.
The paper said the job offer, which specified particular jobs, was reportedly delivered by Jim Messina, Obama’s deputy chief of staff. One position cited by the Post was a job at USAID, the foreign aid agency.
Messina contacted Romanoff soon after news leaked in August 2009 that Romanoff, former Colorado House speaker, would make a primary run against Bennet.
Romanoff turned down the offer and announced his candidacy. Obama then endorsed Bennet, who had been appointed in January 2009 to fill the seat vacated when Ken Salazar became Secretary of the Interior.
But Romanoff trounced Bennet at last weekend's Colorado Democratic assembly, winning the top line on the August primary ballot.
The White House denied that Romanoff had been offered a job.
“Mr. Romanoff was never offered a position within the administration,” said White House spokesman Adam Abrams.

The list, ping
Unless there is physical evidence of the job offer (tapes, recordings) nothing will come of it.
Of course the Marxist did.
SO what is anyone going to do about?!!!
This couldn’t be true.
Haven’t all of the Romanoffs been dead for nearly a 100 years, after being killed by the Bolsheviks?
The hole gets deeper.
Seems to be a pattern.
Tell your reps every time you talk to them, when we take back congress, we demand congressional hearings, the coruptocrats MUST be held accountable.
Push republican members of congress (aka, the conservative members) to hold hearings of everything corrupt in all branches, including the executive and judicial branch, and not to dismiss hearings on Keagan. We MUST restore our country. The tea party is bigger than the government. Fight them all. Every last one of these bastards.
AMEN!! The White House BRIBED people...those are FELONIES!!
IMPEACH!!
Atlas Shrugged.
its the Anti-Dog eat Dog law. Obama gives free executive jobs so aristocrats do not each each other.
If a tree falls in the forest......if a democrat lies and it’s not tape everything stays the same. No prosecution without real live witnesses willing to talk and even then it’s doubtful.
Nothing will be done. State=run media will report, “move along, nothing more to see here”.
Setting new standards for corruption.
Pattern of corruption!
I am beginning to think the ex-gov of Ill just might be telling the truth on what happened with “O”’s Senate seat
First Blago, Chicago gangster Daley Pol .........
then a crummy naval vice-admiral who shouts and screams;
Now, for God’s sakes, the Romanoff, ex Czar of Russia.
Where will this all stop?
(Guess he likes Russian Czars)
Where’s the Special Prosecutor
When does the indy investigation begin ????????????????????????
IMPEACH!!
Why wasn’t this pursued in 2009? It’s a felony. Doesn’t anyone care?
