Yeah, Hickenlooper replacing Ritter would be great for us (though I'd prefer he replace Bennett...)

Agree. BTW, how is Romanoff doing against Bennet?

Not well.  Not well at all.  Apparently Romanoff has scheduled a press conference for tomorrow morning where he's expected to announce that he is swapping races.  That would be the wisest choice for him personally and politically, but I doubt it will have any effect on the Democrats' chances in Colorado in November.  The reality on the ground is that Colorado looks poised to emerge after Election Day, once again, as a state that leans Republican in absence of a compelling, moderate Democrat running in a bad year for the GOP.  Way too many people drank the blue Kool Aid that pundits were serving over the charred carcus of the state Republican Party.  It was so weird to see that happening considering the fact that Colorado is still a fairly conservative state, all things considered.  It's hard to declare Colorado the newest Democratic stronghold when most voters in the state gravitate to ideas that run contrary to the heart of the Democratic Party (nationally, anyway). 

If you're a Democrat in Colorado and you talk enough about fiscal responsibility and you stay far, far away from any conversation that offends Colorado's conservative sensibility on social issues, you stand a chance.  Democrats have failed to do either of those things and that's why you're seeing an ascendent GOP and a Democratic Party in disarray just one short year after looking like it was poised to take total control of state politics.

I think you're confusing Colorado with one of its neighbors to the west, north or east.

So the White House pulls him out of the Senate, putting the seat in grave danger, just to let him go a year later?

yeah, what. Surely they're not that stupid and short-sighted.
