Encourage Andrew Romanoff to challenge Diana DeGette in a primary
Hey all,
I subscribe to emails from several politicians, both sides of the aisle. In reply to a recent request for donations from Andrew Romanoff, who is currently running against Cong Coffman, I stated that I would support his campaign if he changed races and challenged Diana DeGette instead. Her recent comments at the DP gun debate forum (which I attended) exemplify why term limits are needed.
That would be some change I could support!

Lisa, I realize the different residency requirements, but since Romanoff represented a Denver District while in the Colorado legislature, maybe he has residency in both places? Or could move (back). Other than having drunk too much of the liberal Kool-Aid, he could make a decent legislator. Hopefully he will follow the adage, "if you're not a liberal when young, you have no heart, if you're not a conservative when more mature, you have no brain."

Mr Romanoff mortgaged his Washington Park home in order to finance his unsuccessful challenge to Michael Bennett in the Democratic primary for the CO US Senate seat. So, he was forced to sell the home after the race, and the Party encouraged him to move to his new residence specifically so he could challenge Congressman Coffman. The Dems are SERIOUS about getting that seat. So much so, that they have a national campaign to oust Coffman. I'd be very surprised if he pulled out of the CD6 race, and changed residency. Romanoff is very politically aware, and after how the race against Bennett came down, he is very unlikely to make the same mistake of primary-challenging a sitting favorite of the leftists in the Colorado Democratic Party. IMHO, of course.
