Poll: Jane Norton 2014, Anyone?

•  
• by: Colorado Pols

A hint dropped by freshman Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire today, advertising a Charlie Black fundraiser for herself–and also for former Colorado Senate candidate Jane Norton:

Jane Norton, former Lieutenant Governor of Colorado, was a terrific Senate candidate with whom I became friends. Jane and I both had competitive primaries. I won my primary narrowly and Jane lost hers narrowly…

Many us believe that Jane Norton has a bright future and have encouraged her to run in the next U.S. Senate election in Colorado in 2014. But, to get prepared for that option, Jane needs to eliminate the campaign debt from her 2010 campaign.

I am delighted to invite you to a joint fundraising event I am hosting with Jane Norton on May 10…

For the time being, of course, this has got more to do with Norton’s 2010 campaign debt than it does any possible rerun for the Senate against Mark Udall in 2014. For one thing, we’ve heard she’ll have to go through Rep. Mike Coffman first, which doesn’t square well with what we’ve seen re: Norton hating primaries. But who knows? Text of the invite after the jump, in case you’re in Washington next Tuesday with $250 burning a hole in your pocket and would like to go–and since they brought it up, our very first poll of potential 2014 GOP Senate candidates follows!
