Reply #7: Romanoff wins top billing on Democrats' U.S. Senate ballot.

[elleng]

Senate candidates veered on different rhetorical paths. Romanoff continued to slash at Bennet, though not by name, for refusing to take Democratic ideals far enough and making typical Washington compromises at the cost of the people.

Romanoff conjured images of the disastrous British Petroleum oil spreading in the Gulf of Mexico.

"It is the result in part of an even bigger slick of oil money that our own party has done little or nothing to clean up," Romanoff said. "The same flood of corporate cash washed away our hopes for a public option, drowned discussion of a single-payer health plan, and watered down the reforms we need on Wall Street. And too many politicians, complicit by their silence, surrender without a fight."
