WASHINGTON — One of President Barack Obama’s top advisers suggested to a Colorado Democrat that he forgo a primary challenge to Sen. Michael Bennet and instead apply for one of three international development jobs.
The disclosure came just days after the White House admitted orchestrating a job offer in the Pennsylvania Senate race with the similar goal of avoiding a messy or divisive Democratic primary.
And apparently Democrat challenger Andrew Romanoff kept the e-mails from White House deputy chief of staff Jim Messina, so the White House can't deny, duck, dodge or obfuscate about job offers made.
If I was Senator Bennett, I would be better off distancing myself from the White House. Just ask Jim Corzine, Martha Coakley or Arlen Specter.
