Michael Bennet was relatively an unknown before Gov. Bill Ritter tapped him to be Ken Salazar's replacement. Bennet has never held office and before being Denver Public Schools Superintendent Bennet made millions as a corporate restructuring specialist. Even though very few people knew of Michael Bennet outside of the Denver area President Elect Barack Obama knew of him, Bennet donated $4,600 to him after they met a Denver fund-raiser in March 2007. I don't really understand why Gov. Bill Ritter chose Michael Bennet to replace Ken Salazar because he lacks in experience.
