Reid asks Michael Bennet to take over DSCC, Bennet turns it down

Two senior Democratic sources tell CNN Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has discussed with Colorado Senator Michael Bennet the possibility of taking over the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

The two talked this week, the sources said, but there was no resolution to the conversation.

"The ask has been made, and Michael has been thinking about it," said one of the Democratic sources.

These sources say it's unlikely Bennet will take the job. He just won a brutal battle to keep is Senate seat.

2. Well he does know how to run a struggling campaign.
Of course there were a few times I was pretty damn sure Ken Crazy Fuck Buck was going to beat him. It was pretty damn close.

4. Charles Schumer and Robert Menendez
...were selected because they live near Wall Street for easier fundraising.

Choosing a Senator from Colorado would be different in that regard.

10. Did Schumer get too powerful?
Or was he too succesful?
