In a mild surprise, Colorado Governor Bill Ritter has reportedly chosen Denver schools superintendent Michael Bennet to be the Rocky Mountain State's next Senator, replacing Ken Salazar, who is expected to be named Barack Obama's Secretary of the Interior.Here's Wikipedia. His brother James edits the Atlantic. Cool beans.

If he fits the profile of a typical Colorado Democrat, he'll be liberal on social issues and the environment, but more moderate on fiscal policy (as his business background might imply).

I would be modestly surprised if Bennet is merely intending to serve as a placeholder, as at age 44, he is on track to become the youngest member of the United States Senate.
Andrew Sullivan puts it thusly:
My Boss's Bro... could be a senator.A rogue gay-married libertarian conservative with establishment connections to the most powerful legislative body in the world? Gadzukes!
