Sen. Bennet will have plenty of time to think about China soon

by: wade norris

Mon Aug 02, 2010 at 16:25:07 PM MST


(with the week Bennet is having, this is not the time to give the impression that you are day dreaming in the Senate - promoted by wade norris)

Volunteers for Andrew Romanoff are busting their behinds day in and day out and Mr.Romanoff himself is crisscrossing the state connecting with voters and making his case for their vote.

What's Bennet up to? From the   latest edition of the  New Yorker

Michael Bennet, a freshman Democrat from Colorado, said, "Sit and watch us for seven days-just watch the floor. You know what you'll see happening? Nothing. When I'm in the chair, I sit there thinking, I wonder what they're doing in China right now?"

(crossposted at Huffington Post, Square State,  Firedoglake and Ultimate Politics )

uh, what? You have a primary - Guess your day dreaming is happening on the campaign trail too and Andrew Romanoff is taking advantage of it - and is surging in the polls.

Local Progressive Talk Show Host Mario Solis Marich ( http://gotomario.com/ )
says it best today:
(paraphrase)
"In my history of campaigns, I always said a candidate can't win without PAC money - I have never said you could win without it. Now that's not the case. Romanoff is doing it."

As you can see in this diary about Primary Candidate Andrew Romanoff (that was up on the rec list for the last 2 days) -  Mr. Romanoff has come from behind from a double digit deficit to a lead in 4 weeks - and all without taking any PAC money against a conservadem.

Wednesday August 4th is the Andrew Romanoff Moneybomb Day

Les Miserables...guest appearance by Senator Michael Bennet
(ANSCHUTZ YEARS)

I dreamed a dream in times gone by...
When hope was high and life worth living...
I dreamed that love would never die...
I dreamed that God would be forgiving...
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted...
There was no ransom to be paid...
No song unsung, no wine uptasted...

(ENTER PRIMARY)

But the tigers come at night...
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame...

Sorry Michael Bennet, but I'm a real person too


I dunno, Wade
His China comment is out of context. It doesn't seem fair to make an issue out of it.  There are so many more-concrete issues upon which to fault Mr. Bennet's qualifications and job performance.

A little snark is fine with me
I just think fairness dictates we acknowledge that the reason Bennet's quote seemed so weird is because of the poor writing/editing of that New Yorker piece.
