As for debunking the Romanoff "disadvantage"
Any disadvantage he had in this Primary was his own doing. We discussed this many times in the last 18 months. Nobody forced Romanoff to wait until August to announce his candidacy, by which time he was already millions of dollars behind in fundraising. He could have jumped in the race in March, when he first polled on it, and it would have made a huge difference.

Bennet Scramble to Show Democratic Bonafides Too Little, Too Late

   Sure, Bennet has raised a ton of money, but in a Democratic primary where Romanoff will start with significantly  greater name ID, the latter needs only to be able to raise enough money to be competitive. Romanoff doesn't need to outspend Bennet, or even come close, because he is so much more well-known and liked among Democratic primary voters.

You can see that Colorado Pols has clearly supported the idea that Romanoff both had better name ID and 'likability' with Democrats and that this was more important than money. "Romanoff doesn't need to outspend Bennet, or even come close" the editors said.
This was not 18 months ago, but 11 months ago. And furthermore, the credibility gap for Colorado Pols goes back even further.

While we are at it, let's look at all of the Bennet bashing was doing before they took a complete 180 on the Senate Primary.

I'm writing that disclaimer because this diary, for the most part, is of the latter variety. It's not about the hot events of the day, the battling candidates, the particular policy proposals in the pipeline, but rather about an overarching principle, one which we forget in the heat of our passions and the hunger of our will.
