Romanoff may not need to worry about ‘how long he can keep the lights on’ according to a new poll for the Colorado Senate Race:

Rasmussen released the results of a new Colorado Senate poll Friday, and the news is particularly bad for incumbent Democrat Michael Bennet. According to the telephone survey, Bennet now trails likely Republican nominee Jane Norton by 14 points, 52%-37%. Norton’s lead is up two points from January’s Rasmussen poll, which showed her with a 49-37% lead.

Making matters worse for Bennet, his Democratic Challenger, former Speaker of the Colorado House Andrew Romanoff, seems to be making a push in the Rasmussen poll Romanoff trails Norton by just 7 points, 45%-38%.

Hmm, Jane Norton has opened up a double digit lead on Bennet, while Romanoff has picked up 5 points and is only behind 7 points.

Seems like this not going to be just about money, it is going to be who can actually compete vs the Republicans.

And this:

Rasmussen also reported that 70% of Coloradans thought that the government was beholden to special interests, and another 70% think the government often works with big business to hurt consumers.

Romanoff’s campaign message has centered lately on the candidate’s independence, and his decision not to accept campaign donations from special interests.

Watch Romanoff’s first web ad playing up his independence from special interests:

Whoa, the end of this commercial speaks volumes about this campaign.

The race is on.
