Colorado Politics: The impassioned speech delivered on the Senate floor Thursday by U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet about the federal government shutdown quickly blew up online, accumulating millions of views and spawning calls for the usually unflappable Colorado Democrat to run for president.

Thus, his darkside KGOP idiocy could not be permitted to stand. Bennet took a stand for all the honest, decent people in the country. Good.
