7. I think now would be a good time for someone like Romanoff to work with Bernie Sanders...

... as should many other primary challengers to those that corruptly passed this bill, and help build a movement.

I think he should note that the DNC that helped Bennet's campaign has at its head DWS who was probably as responsible as anyone for the losing strategy for Dems in the 2014 election as well as herself voting for TPA in the House too. Might put Bennet in to a corner that a lot of the Colorado electorate that are probably as frustrated as we are won't like.

I think it wouldn't hurt to call him up and encourage him to give it a shot. We are in different times. Feingold will win his seat back in Wisconsin that he lost earlier. I think that someone like Romanoff might win a primary that he lost earlier too. Voters want newer faces that to replace those that have lost their trust recently. Someone should tell Romanoff that it would be better that a Democrat like him would win than a Republican taking Bennet's seat.

It wouldn't hurt to call him up and ask him if he might consider it, and if he'd consider strongly talking against some of this free trade crap that is going on that will get him a lot of support I think.

And by the way, DeFazio hasn't offered yet to compete with Wyden yet either. Just many of us feel like he's the right person to do so and that now is the time for him to start such a campaign and are going to strongly encourage him by calling him and offering him campaign donations to do so.
