ABC News breaks the story (hat tip to Kristinn at
Free Republic)
Andrew Romanoff, the former speaker of the Colorado house of representatives, issued a statement Wednesday evening claiming that the White House raised the possibility that he might be offered an administration job if he opted to not challenge incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo.
Romanoff also released what he said was an e-mail from White House deputy chief of staff Jim Messina outlining three possible jobs — deputy assistant administrator for Latin America and Caribbean for the U.S. Agency for International Development; director of the Office of Democracy and Governance at USAID; and director of the U.S. Trade and Development Agency – he could have if he didn’t run.
Romanoff did not accept any of the offers, and currently is challenging Bennet, who has the endorsement of President Obama.
The White House did not comment. The statement comes as the White House attempts to distance itself from the controversy stemming from attempts – also unsuccessful – to convince Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Pa., to not challenge Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa., in the Pennsylvania primary. Sestak ultimately defeated Specter.

"Jake Tapper found dead today - victim of a hit and run. Witnesses say he was hit by, what appeared to be, a MSN news van. Neither MSN or the White House have any comment."
Unfortunately it's impossible to have a Watergate nightmare without the enthusiastic involvement of the MSM, therefore the Man Child will never have a Watergate nightmare.
e or usa,
At first I thought this was going to be a real story.
cjk,
You may be right, but if you are, well, then history will not be kind to Obama.
