| Description | There is no Democratic contest in the country where President Obama has weighed in as aggressively – or as frequently – as the Colorado Senate primary.
First, he made telephone calls on behalf of Senator Michael Bennet. Then, he appeared in television advertisements. And on Tuesday evening, the White House said, the president will speak to voters of Colorado in a telephone town-hall-style meeting.
The extraordinary presidential effort, particularly given that it’s coming in a Democratic primary, underscores a key point about the Colorado Senate race: Mr. Bennet is in significant trouble in his campaign against Andrew Romanoff, a former speaker of the Colorado House.
The date of the primary is next Tuesday, but Mr. Bennet does not have seven days to deliver his closing argument to voters. The ballots are already coming in – more by the day – as Colorado is conducting its first statewide, mail-only primary. |
