Sen. Bennet: I knew White House urged Romanoff not to run

Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) said Thursday he was aware the White House had urged Andrew Romanoff not to challenge him in a primary.

Bennet told The Hill he knew beforehand that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina had reached out to Romanoff in hopes of avoiding a primary challenge to the incumbent Bennet.

“Yeah, I was aware,” Bennet said. “Right.”

You just gotta respect how the Demcrats have truely mastered the art of spin. "Reached out", now that's one for the ages.
