Colorado Democrats have handed caucus wins to controversial Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff. Romanoff was pushed by Colorado liberals over incumbent Democratic Senator Michael Bennet.
Romanoff, along with Pennsylvania Congressman Joe Sestak, is at the center of the Jobsgate scandal, the Obama White House back-room dealings to trade jobs for political favors. Sestak' s opponent, Senator Arlen Specter, has raised the issue of a "misprision of a felony" with Sestak. This would apply to Romanoff (and any Obama White House staff aware of the illegal offers) if, as press reports have indicated, Romanoff received a job-for-a favor offer and did not report this to federal authorities.
In a reflection of the national pattern that is spelling disaster for mainstream media, (or "lamestream media" as Bernard Goldberg calls it) serious coverage in Colorado is to be found on the show of talk radio star Peter Boyles. Notably, Politico.com's story, reported by David Catanese, never even mentioned the subject in its " news" report. The old media mentality gasps on.
It did cite a Romanoff gloat that his victory was a "shockwave." A real "shockwave" would be the mainstream media doing its job.
Meanwhile, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, who has declined five times to answer questions on this, was not asked about Jobsgate today.
The story continues.

This is blatantly untrue. Andrew Romanoff is not in any office, therefore he could not have had any backroom deal with Obama. In fact, Obama came to Colorado to fundraise for Romanoff's opponent and the incumbent, Michael Bennet. Romanoff won the caucus because people in Colorado are not stupid sheep.

What's with the spam? Has your webguy ever heard of captcha? Aside from the "retailers" selling things, this is what the media should be doing. Exposing the corruption that is everywhere in Washington. Someone should be sent to prison for this "bribe."

It is always possible to point to the exact text and show what it says. Nevertheless, the written text can change by addition with every new edition.

Senator Michael Bennet's Colorado senatorial campaign has been undermined by Representative Betsy Markey's arrogance as well as her apparent disdain for the constituents who made phone calls, knocked on doors, and contributed their hard-earned money to her campaign for Congress in 2008.
