“You know a Senate race is obviously a much smaller deal than a presidential race. What I think makes a very hard job considerably easier when you're going to debate is if you have reminded yourself - or somebody has reminded you during the course of your campaign - that consistency is enormously important. That people don't want to hear you say one thing in one part of the state and another thing in another part of the state.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWantImportantHardStatesJobsCoursesDealsRaceOne ThingEasierCampaignsDebatePresidentialSenateConsistency Author:Michael Bennet
“Comedy to the Senate? Well, there certainly hasn't been a satirist or a political satirist who's done that. So, that really was uncharted territory during the campaign. But I think it's a good thing.
