It’s just like everyone on this site has been saying for months, and it shouldn’t be any bit of a surprise, but according to Gov. Haley Barbour, there won’t be anymore money coming into Colorado for Dan Maes.

From Talking Points Memo

Will the RGA stand by Maes with financial support?

“We have put some money in Colorado,” Barbour told reporters during a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.

He added firmly, “We have put some money in Colorado. Past tense.”

With the RGA now officially giving up on Dan Maes, this is bad news for Republicans up and down the ticket. No outside groups are going to invest in Maes, so Ken Buck is really the only statewide candidate who can help influence turnout down ballot. The question is, will that be enough?
