EFCA and the Colorado delegation

According to Square State we can confirm that DeGette, Salazar and Markey are co-sponsoring EFCA? That is an established fact? If true this is very good news and reflects a significant change from their positions just a few weeks ago. I'm glad to hear that.

As to the Senators, the last I heard Udall was explicitly ducking labor's reps on the issue while meeting with business interests.

Bennet will be interesting, if he has the cover of Reps like Salazar and Markey then I see no reason why he shouldn't sign on. From a purely political perspective he needs the ground troops in 2010.

What about Jared Polis? Is he going to step up on this critical piece of legislation or not? A lot of progressives worked very hard to get him elected, is he going to fold at the first test? Joan Fitz-gerald would most certainly have signed on as a co-sponsor.
