Romanoff: Supporting Bennet over Buck ‘an easy call’ for Democrats

DENVER -- Colorado Democratic leaders and national party officials united Thursday on the steps of the Colorado capitol to try to heal the wounds created in what many saw as a bloody Democratic primary race.

Though Buck is no stranger to insider politics, he has run on a platform many disenfranchised Republicans are eager to hear and vote for. Bennet's camp said they would combat this by sticking to their guns and offering positive message.
