Denver November 2004 Election Colorado Luis profiles Attorney General Ken Salazar. Wired: "Given entertainment's central place in American society, it's only natural that MTV has been enlisted to help pull voters to the polls on Election Day. MTV's nonpartisan political partner, Rock the Vote, is promoting a new initiative, Rock the Mobile Vote, that aims to tap the mobile phones of young people to entice them to vote this November." 9:55:11 PM

2004 Presidential Election Blogs for Bush is pointing to the President's website and the new TV ads. I like the fact that they stream the video in Real, QuickTime, and .wmp format. It shows an inclusive attitude on the part of the President's media people. The Daily Kos comments on the President's going negative so early in the campaign season. Says the Kos, "There's essentially only one tactic open to him to win this thing -- drive Kerry's negatives higher than his. And to raise an opponent's negatives, you have to run negative ads. And given Bush's downward spiral, Rove has apparently decided that sooner is better than later." The President's support for the constitutional ban on gay marriage is one of the top election issues this year. Here's a story about a group of gay Republicans in Ohio, the Log Cabin Republicans, that are working against his re-election in that all important swing state. Thanks to Channeling Cupertino for the link. 9:18:58 PM
