Michael Bennet reveals shocking secret...that Romanoff has been talking about for a year.
Last night Michael Bennet lost the battle to control the message. While his previous ads had been positive talking about himself, Bennet made the mistake of engaging on the one issue people can identify with Andrew Romanoff: campaign contributions.
The Bennet campaign released a new attack ad telling people what Andrew Romanoff has been saying since he started the campaign: that he has learned from his years of legislative experience and no longer takes PAC special interest money
Romanoff has never made a secret of how he came to this conclusion. Like a former McDonald's addict who realized the long term effects of the junk food and no longer eats Big Macs, Romanoff is one of the few candidates in the country to break free of their corporate addiction.
As he says "I am not a perfect messenger"
If Bennet wants to continue to make an issue of this, he will continue to lose control of the message. Bennet's ad will make more people think and talk about this issue. When they do, they will see one candidate who has turned away from the special interests and one who continues to let them control him.
"Part of changing the culture is recognizing that special interests and lobbyists, the insurance companies, the banks, the drug companies, the HMO's, they have come to dictate the agenda in Washington. And the only way that you break out of that, so that ordinary people's voices are heard, is if you stop taking money from PACs and lobbyists like I have."
--President Barack Obama
