Andrew Romanoff Stays Under the Radar (Another bribe to leave the race???)
Politico ^ | December 9, 2009 | Alex Isenstadt

When word circulated that former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff was planning a primary campaign against Sen. Michael Bennet, Democrats were worried — so much so that Romanoff reportedly got a call from the White House exploring whether he wanted a job in the administration instead.

These are the most interesting parts:

In late September, The Denver Post reported that White House deputy chief of staff Jim Messina had contacted Romanoff a month earlier to ask if he was interested in a post — perhaps at the U.S. Agency for International Development — in an effort to avert a potentially costly and divisive primary war between Romanoff and Bennet.

For Democrats, the immediate concern about Romanoff was clear: A popular, well-known political figure in the state holding sway among the party’s grass-roots activists, Romanoff threatened to wage a competitive fight against Bennet, a former Denver public schools chief who cuts a moderate and establishment image.

Romanoff was one of the other applicants when Gov. Bill Ritter chose Bennet in January to fill the term of Sen. Ken Salazar, who had been tapped to be Interior secretary.

SESTAK, Part 2?

Omoslem’s Chicago Machine is so corrupt, I’m shocked it’s taken this long for impeachable offenses to leak.

Folks, how can we raise visibility of Omoslem’s impeachable crimes? Let’s brainstorm:

Impeachment Rally
Impeach Your Boss Day
Impeach Yourself Day
Impeachment Contest (between Clinton + Omoslem)
Impeach Your Dog
Facebook Pages (counting Omoslem’s impeachable crimes)

We need a “-Gate” name for these Sestak/Romanoff bribes.

“Sestak Gate” isn’t a catchy name.

I think this is part 1. This article is full of information. It even says who offered they bribe, the position that was offered, and other information we can’t get for the current bribe. Let’s send this information to Beck, Hannity, Levin, Rush etc. If they apply it to what is happening now it provides all the answers. None of this was even disputed. I have heard none of them talk about this. Maybe they don’t know? Maybe it didn’t matter at the time, but it sure matters now!
