Andrew Romanoff, the former speaker of the Colorado house of representatives, issued a statement Wednesday evening claiming that the White House raised the possibility that he might be offered an administration job if he opted to not challenge incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo.
Romanoff also released what he said was an e-mail from White House deputy chief of staff Jim Messina outlining three possible jobs -- deputy assistant administrator for Latin America and Caribbean for the U.S. Agency for International Development; director of the Office of Democracy and Governance at USAID; and director of the U.S. Trade and Development Agency – he could have if he didn’t run.
Romanoff did not accept any of the offers, and currently is challenging Bennet, who has the endorsement of President Obama.
The White House did not comment. The statement comes as the White House attempts to distance itself from the controversy stemming from attempts – also unsuccessful – to convince Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Pa., to not challenge Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa., in the Pennsylvania primary. Sestak ultimately defeated Specter.

WHAT DID THE PRESIDENT KNOW AND WHENNNNN DID HE KNOW IT? COME CLEAN MR OSAMA!
I dunno. They never stopped defending Clinton until the blue dress was presented in evidence.
It’s one thing to control a city, quite another to control the third most populous country in the world, with a tenacious attachment to freedom.
Nixon: a cancer on the presidency
Clinton: a chancre (Syphilis/VD sore) on the presidency
zero: a jihad on the presidency and the rest of America.
this is the ticket to gain access to EVERY email Messina has sent or received since the admin took office.
HUGE.
