With a week to go, Republicans are backing out of supporting Bush/Cheney favorite Rick O'Donnell who has been trailing the excellent Ed Perlmutter in Colorado's 7th District for the seat being vacated by Bob Beauprez, who is running a seemingly losing race for Colorado Governor.

The beneficiary of the money that will not be spent on O'Donnell? Marilyn Musgrave, mother of the anti-gay marriage amendment.

The AP reports:

Signaling retreat, House Republicans are scaling back television advertising in three highly contested races, including Republican Rick O'Donnell's campaign in Colorado's 7th Congressional District.

How's this for a slap to O'Donnell? Bush is coming to Colorado Saturday to stump for Beauprez and Musgrave, but not O'Donnell.

The Cook Report has reclassified the Musgrave race to "lean Republican to a toss-up", which is good news for her opponent Angie Paccione.

Meanwhile, former President Bill Clinton will be in Colorado tomorrow for a luncheon fundraiser for Ed Perlmutter. I'll be there.

    I thought the KKK endorsement she got would have surely been enough to get her over the top....
