The hits just keep coming....
The Associated Press is now reporting that in addition to Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Pa., a job offer was also extended to senate candidate Andrew Romanoff on the condition he stop challenging incumbent Democratic Senator Michael Bennet, D-Colo., in the Centennial State's Democratic primary:
Administration officials dangled the possibility of a job for former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff last year in hopes he would forego a challenge to Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet.
Administration officials on Wednesday 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 Denver Post reported last fall that "multiple sources" confirmed Deputy White House Chief of Staff Jim Messina made an offer to Romanoff. Just last week, I wrote that "White House reporters need to ask about Romanoff job offer, too," -- so good work AP. This will revelation will no doubt increase scrutiny on the White House, which is already defensive over the allegations that the Sestak job offer was illegal.
