Romanoff sets record straight on CPR financial reform story
A 5 o'clock report by Colorado Public Radio (CPR) yesterday caused a stir in the Democratic Primary race for Senate after reporting Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff would have voted against the Wall Street reform package that just passed the Senate.

CPR said that there was a miscomunication with the Romanoff camp and said they were wrong in their assertion he would not have voted for the bill.
