Denver — A whip-smart lawyer who has turned successively to the worlds of business and education, Denver Superintendent Michael Bennet won’t have much trouble adjusting to the biggest promotion of his life: to U.S. senator.
That’s what colleagues are saying about the Yale-educated lawyer, a quick study who won’t need long to navigate Congress, even though Bennet has never held public office. Bennet was named Saturday by Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter as his choice to fill the remaining two years of the Senate term of Democratic Sen. Ken Salazar, who is awaiting confirmation as interior secretary for President-elect Barack Obama.
