Obama to help Sen. Bennet at telephone town-hall event tonight

With a week to go until Colorado's primary, Sen. Michael Bennet is getting a helping hand from the nation's top Democrat.

Bennett, who faces a very competitive primary challenge from former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff, teams up Tuesday night with President Barack Obama.

The president is scheduled to join a tele-town hall of Colorado residents hosted by Bennet. The White House sent out an email Tuesday afternoon adding the event to Obama's schedule. A Bennett campaign spokesman describes the tele-townhall as a political event.    – More -
