I thought Bennet had the temperament to be President and I liked his position on issues. I hope there is a place in the upcoming Democratic administration for him.

He’s more moderate than me, but he’s honest, decent, thoughtful and genuine, like Barack Obama..

to have Bennet in Colorado but he would add so much to any cabinet as Vice President or Secy of Education.
