Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) confirmed to Yahoo News that he is considering a run for president.

“Bennet has reportedly been talking to staff in Iowa ahead of the first-in-the-nation caucus there and would join the enormous field of Democrats likely to seek the nomination in 2020, which is more than 30 names long.”

1. He'll go nowhere. He has zero charisma.

Don't waste your time or money, Michael.

6. OH MY GOD!!! NOT CHESTER BOWLES!!

Care to share the significance of this?

7. No real signifigance other than he was an American diplomat stationed in India

He was a member of America First, the non-interventionist faction during WWII, though he did his best to clean that up before he went into politics.

I just triggered on the fact that Bennet was born out of the U.S.

8. Only the internet cares about that sort of thing.

Real people don't, especially if it's a white guy.

9. White is Right...

3. Who?

That will be a tough haul for someone with almost no name recognition.

4. Just what we need: Another school-privatizing, bank-deregulating, pro-business Democrat.

Phil Anschutz likes him though, which is why Ritter appointed him instead of an actual liberal. He'd be better off running on the other party's ticket.

5. Who? n/t

10. He and Hickenlooper will briefly embarrass Colorado

Before they drop out.

12. I think Hickenlooper can make a run

Not sure if it's all the way, but he'll have a shot.
