I posted this comment:
(Do reporters ever enter into these discussions? I'd very much like to hear more about yesterday from Arnie Parnes in response to what's been posted here. If they don't enter into the discussion, why not? Is there a journalistic standard that is violated in their mind?)
I attended the announcement yesterday. Those who spoke, including Ritter, Bennet, Salazar, Udal, talked about the importance of setting party politics aside.
Yet everyone who spoke was a Democrat, Bennet used the occation to announce that he's now a candidate for the 2010 election, and it was clearly a partisian political event. Pat Waak, our State Democratic Party Chair was recognized by Gov. Ritter and thanked for her work, but the very visible Dick Wadhams, Waak's GOP counterpart, was not.
What does it mean in Bennet's mind to be bi-partisan or non-partisan? Does it mean he just does whatever he wants and ignores the grassroots of our party?
