COLO. SENATE CANDIDATE ROMANOFF BURNED BY THE TRUTH
Andrew Romanoff
COLO. SENATE CANDIDATE ROMANOFF BURNED BY THE TRUTH
 He told the truth.
 None of it compares with Romjue's concession to Politico that Romanoff's holier-than-thou stance on PAC money was  let's say  not as holy as you'd think.
 Romanoff's entire campaign has been based on the notion that Bennet has been corrupted by PAC money. There's the twin notion that Romanoff  though he took PAC money himself as the Colorado House speaker  has forsworn its influence and now sees a new and brighter way to conduct politics.
 Of course  the problem for Romanoff is that while the whole idea may sound good in a come-from-behind primary  it may not allow you to compete in a general election.
 And so when the news site Politico asked Romjue whether Romanoff would take money from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee  he answered:
 Romanoff had been on a roll. Romanoff had caught Bennet in the polls. And Romanoff hit with his Bennet-is-a-looter TV ad  leaving Romanoff as the pure guy in the race.
 Romanoff's campaign had wisely avoided answering the DSCC question because there was no good answer. You can't really say no because everyone knows that eventually Romanoff would have to say yes.
 Romjue must have missed the memo. Here's how seriously Romanoff is taking this issue. He sent a letter to supporters  listing his home phone number and saying people should call him to discuss it.
 Yes. He actually includes his soon-to-be-former-home phone number -- you'd better call quickly. In case you don't call (and I'm waiting for Bennet to now tell his supporters they can drop by the house)  Romanoff says he'll take DSCC money only if PAC money is removed from his bundle. It's what the DSCC has done for Obama  who doesn't take PAC money.
