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.

The difference is Nixon cared enough about his country to step down.Obama will have to be dragged out!
Remind me again....
What’s the difference between Blago’s deal and Sestak and Romanoff?
Obama employs the “everybody does it” defense. Must have been more advice from Slick.
Doesn't cut the mustard when your entire campaign was based on hope and change.
Maybe the Kenyan scumbag got someone angry... and payback is being served.
POTUS works for Mohamed.
The leaker in the whitehouse figured it out.
Blago, Romanoff and Sestak. How many others? C'mon investigative reporters, start asking questions!
But instead of Blago being thrown in jail to await trial, he ends up on TV to give him credibility and engender sympathy towards him.
This is worse than anything Nixon did.
It was a direct attack on American sovereignty and the Constitution.
But where's the interest meter on the Blago trial? Nobody cares or at least cares enough.
And the manipulation of the make-up of Congress doesn't end there. It continues with Sestak and Romanoff.
Obama and the Democrats are denying representation to Americans just like Britain.
BTTT
what it it were a Bush admin official?
“Administration officials dangled the possibility of a job for former “
“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.”
It is really hard to reconcile these two sentences. Technically, it is true. No specific (singular) job was offered. Several were offered. No formal offer was made? Then what the hell was made? Possibility does not pass the BS test.
