Colorado’s Democrats, sensing the urgency of uniting a fractured party ahead of November’s election, have already scheduled a “unity rally” featuring Democratic heavy-hitters, including the losing challenger Andrew Romanoff, whose conciliatory concession speech focused on pushing a Democratic agenda:

Andrew Romanoff doesn’t have much time to get over his primary night defeat.
Less than 48 hours after conceding Colorado’s Democratic U.S. Senate race to Sen. Michael Bennet, Romanoff will have to appear on the Capitol’s West Steps with the incumbent he spent the last several months attacking on the campaign trail.
DNC Chair Tim Kaine, the former Virginia governor, will headline what’s being billed as a “Unity Rally”, set to take place Thursday at noon.
Sen. Mark Udall, U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, Lt. Gov. Barbara O’Brien, House Speaker Terrance Carroll and Colorado Treasurer Cary Kennedy are among a slew of prominent Democrats planning to appear at what amounts to a carefully chorerographed photo-op, aiming to show a party that’s united and ready to fight to defend its seats against Republican challenges this fall.

The need for party discipline is critical for both parties with the race running neck-and-neck according to pre-primary polls.

“We agree on far, far more than we disagree, and above all we agree that Washington is out of control and we agree that Washington’s madness must stop,” said Jane Norton in her concession speech to Republican U.S. Senate primary winner Ken Buck. “And for this reason I fully endorse Ken Buck and I encourage each one of you to do the same.”

The main priority for Republicans according to Norton? “Stop Barack Obama.”
