Denver Post is very reluctantly dragged back into reporting on a story it broke last September. I guess the mockery from the blogosphere was just too much.

Response from the Denver Post

Thanks for your email this morning. We have chronicled — deeply and
exclusively, I should say — the alleged efforts of the Obama and Ritter
administrations to dissuade Andrew Romanoff from a primary. I dare say
that without our reporting, no one would know about them.
In the case of the Obama administration, they deny that any such offer
was made and, while we continue to work on the story, to date we have
been unable to unearth any document that could confirm what a number of
sources described for us back in September, 2009. So it remains the word
of our sources against the official denial of the Obama administration.

As for Mr. Sestak, we have to keep our staff resources focused on our
own Congressional delegation and Colorado politics, but we can certainly
look for a wire story on whether he also received a job offer and
publish that.

The Post article cited top Democratic sources saying the Obama administration “suggested a place for Romanoff might be found” in the executive branch. The implication was that the job would be available if Romanoff dropped any challenge to appointed Sen. Michael Bennet for the Colorado Democratic primary.

There is the violation of law right there.

White House Accused of Federal Crime in Specter, Bennet Races

For the second time in five months, the Obama White House is being accused -- by Democrats -- of offering high ranking government jobs in return for political favors. What no one is reporting is that this is a violation of federal law that can lead to prison time, a fine or both, according to Title 18, Chapter 11, Section 211 of the United States Code.

The jobs in question? Secretary of the Navy and a position within the U.S. Agency for International Development.

The favor requested in return? Withdrawal from Senate challenges to two sitting United States Senators, both Democrats supported by President Obama. The Senators are Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania and Michael Bennet in Colorado.

After 8 months of being in a silent lockdown mode on the subject of whether the White House offered the Democrat Senate candidate from Colorado, Andrew Romanoff), a job if he would remove himself from the primary race, the Denver Post has finally gotten around to reporting on it again following their initial September story. By strange "coincidence" the Post's sudden willingness to once again broach this subject happened just hours after their bizarre silence on this topic was pointed out by various blogs on the web including the NewsBusters blog of your humble correspondent yesterday.
Thanks PJ-Comix.

If Obama offered an Executive Branch position for which Romanoff was uniquely qualified, wouldn’t it be clear that he offered to make Romanoff . . .

. . . a Czar?

The offer to Sestak was just an opening offer and not the final job!

Obama and Rahmbo are guilty and an investigation needs to move forward on this item. We need an independant prosocutor to find out the truth.

Look what happend to Blago and what took place in CO.

I guess that the White House White wash attorney will clean this up.
