UPDATE 2: The Romanoff campaign email blasted that President Clinton is doing a robocall on Romanoff’s behalf.  Looks like they have a link to it here.

UPDATE: PPP released their poll, showing a 6 point lead by Bennet (as predicted yesterday) 49-43, highlighting this point:

Bennet’s biggest strength is his support with senior citizens, who could account for as much as a third of the voters tomorrow.

Yesterday two “heads up” stories emerged — one from Colorado Pols and one from me.

I wanted to share a few things on both of those and a few more things circulating.

1) My sources say the “Norton as fallback Governor option” seems to be coming from the Buck campaign.  Good move.  Essentially the idea is this — Republicans: support Buck in the senate race and McInnis in the Governorship.  Scotty will get a nice cushy job somewhere and our former Lt. Governor can step up to the plate to wave the party banner for governor.  If they can spread that message widely enough (quietly of course), it’s good for a point or so with the depressed Republicans waiting around.

1.5) Tom Weins.  Remember him?  Well apparently he’s in this giant GOP clusterf*ck to the governorship too.  Buck might be using the Norton rumor today to grab some votes, but if Buck and McInnis win tomorrow Buck will be throwing his weight behind Weins in the vacancy committee.

2) The PPP poll is indeed coming out: very soon.  PPP announced that themselves a bit ago: http://twitter.com/ppppolls  What that poll will actually say (and not say)?  We’ll know soon.

3) The Big Dog decided to bark a little after all, weighing in during these last few hours.  The New York Times (and now Rolling Stone) articles pushed him into action, believing that Bennet absolutely cannot hold the seat.  Colorado Springs venue in the morning?

3.5) Whatever happened to President Obama coming back for Bennet?  Well apparently it’s the same as Clinton — Obama sees Bennet’s recent problems as a good reason to keep a little distance.  The last minute Monday (today) rally was shelved last week.
