3. I'd love to see Andrew Romanoff in the Senate, but it seems he can't win.

On this board, it seems to be the meme that Democrats can't get elected because they won't run on liberal issues. Well, they have never seen Andrew. He's a true liberal and can't win on that because voters are afraid of liberals. It's that simple and has nothing to do with how right or honest that liberal is or how bad the other guy is, or even if voter's agree with liberal issues. Candidates don't even have to be liberal, just painted as a liberal. Bennet, despite this stupid vote, will probably lose in 2016 to some shiney new right wing Koch head Bennet's not a liberal, but he'll be painted as one, like Udall was.

I have written to Bennet about this vote. I'll call his office tomorrow. I asked him why he's pretending to care about the environment when this vote clearly shows he doesn't.
