Administration officials dangled the possibility of a job for former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff last year in hopes he would forgo a challenge to Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet, administration officials said Wednesday, just days after the White House admitted orchestrating a similar job offer in the Pennsylvania Senate race.
These officials declined to specify the job that was floated or the name of the administration official who approached Romanoff, and said no formal offer was ever made. They spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were not cleared to discuss private conversations.

Jon Stewart may find himself forced to start slamming the administration and give the conservatives a rest.

no formal offer was ever made. DRIVER: Officer, what would it take money wise, to hypothetically not write that traffic ticket I'm about to perhaps get?

These officials declined to specify the job that was floated or the name of the administration official who approached Romanoff, and said no formal offer was ever made.UNNAMED ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL: Suppose hypothetically, of course, that you drop out of the race and a few days later, you are offered a high level position in the State Department. Is that something that you might be interested in?
ROMANOFF: Is the White House offering me a job to quit the race?
UNNAMED ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL: That's not what I said [wink, wink].

What you said is a joke, right? Stewart will never rag The One without somehow taking it back.
