WHO'LL TAKE SALAZAR'S SEAT ???

The Interior Department has broad oversight over the nation's energy resources and environment. It oversees oil and gas drilling on public lands and manages the nation's parks and wildlife refuges.Democratic Gov. Bill Ritter said "I have very mixed emotions about this. Ken Salazar has been an extremely effective United States senator for Colorado these past four years, particularly as a moderate and as a centrist," Ritter appoint Salazar's brother but John Salazar doesn't have the statewide support


Another possible replacement list: House Speaker Andrew Romanoff, The incumbent, Republican Mike Coffman,Democratic U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, Democratic U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette. Senate Democrats would lose a valuable lawmaker known for seeking bipartisan support like immigration reform but that he could be even more valuable to Colorado and the region as interior secretary.
