Will Romanoff Play a Role in Stopping the Democratic Wave He Started?

Colorado's Democrats were ahead of  the 2008 national Democratic wave, putting Democrats in the majority in the statehouse and electing a Democratic U.S. Senator in 2004, electing a Democratic Governor in 2006, and replacing a second Republican U.S. Senator in 2008. As a young state representative, Andrew Romanoff was a leader in that 2004 wave.  But as he challenges U.S. Senator Michael Bennet in the Democratic primary -- with tough internecine warfare -- this once golden boy may become a negative force for Democrats.  I found Dana Milbank's column in the Washington Post today an interesting inside peek at Romanoff -- and it's not terribly flattering.   Seems to me that with his slash and burn tactics Romanoff is helping to stop the wave he was so instrumental in starting.
