DENVER — Former state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff joined Sen. Michael Bennet in a downtown unity rally Thursday and urged his supporters to put their grievances aside and line up behind his victorious rival's campaign against Republican nominee Ken Buck.

"It is an easy call for me, it should be an easy call for all of you as well," Romanoff said on the steps of the state capitol before hundreds of cheering Democrats. "I am proud to stand with Sen. Bennet."

Romanoff, who lost to Bennet by 8 percentage points after a vicious closing month to their primary campaign in which he questioned his opponent's ties to corporations and his financial judgment, walked down the steps with Bennet and his three daughters and introduced the newly minted nominee as "the next senator from Colorado."

Bennet heaped even more profuse praise on Romanoff, noting that his record as a Colorado Democrat "inspired thousands."
