Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) and his primary challenger, former state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff, have been trading some attack ads in the run-up to the August 10 primary.
Romanoff’s new ad accuses Bennet of being a pawn of special interests. “I don’t take money from special interests — because they have enough politicians on their payroll,” says Romanoff.
Bennet, who was appointed to his seat in January 2009, fires right back with his own ad. “Career politician Romanoff’s been taking PAC money for almost 10 years,” the announcer says. “From big banks, insurance companies, oil companies — he’s even run his own PAC while campaigning for Senate.”
The TPM Poll Average shows Bennet leading by 46.3%-33.7%, though the most recent public data on this race is a month old.
