So...What happens if Romanoff pulls it off?

Okay.

Fine.

Everyone here has been losing their minds slowly since Romanoff threw his hat into the ring for the US Senate race.  I’ve worked with Romanoff on a number of things, and I’ve only met Bennet once or twice, so I do have a personal bias in this thing.  However, that’s not the topic of this diary.

The question is, once the D and R primaries shake themselves out, if Romanoff ends up with the Democratic nomination, how the hell does he fund his campaign?

The only thing I can think of is that any corporate/pac money that would have gone to Bennet in the last 3 months ends up in 527 buys supporting Romanoff, while Norton/Buck keeps raking in the Oil, Rx, etc. cash into their coffers.  However, there are opinions out there which suggest that the DSCC and other national groups will abandon Colorado altogether and put their resources elsewhere…unless Romanoff reneges on his promise to not accept pac money, which would be disastrous for him.

What, pray tell, do you think, polsters?
