Denver November 2004 Election
Here's some early polling information for the Colorado U.S. Senate race, from the Rocky Mountain News [April 3, 2004, "'Salazar' rings bell"]. From the article, "The poll of 400 Coloradans who said they are likely to vote in this year's elections was taken March 31 and April 1. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points. Salazar, Colorado's attorney general since 1999, scored 88 percent name recognition. The figures in the Rocky Mountain News/News 4 poll are similar to those in polls conducted for Salazar and Schaffer, said Salazar campaign manager Mike Stratton. 'One thing that we like about the poll results is that the attorney general has a broad base and bipartisan support,' Stratton said. 'We welcome that bipartisan support.' Schaffer, a former three-term congressman from northeastern Colorado, wasn't far behind in the name game, with 70 percent of respondents aware of the candidate. Liniger was at 22 percent. And Mike Miles, who will compete against Salazar in the Democratic primary, notched 25 percent name recognition."

2004 Presidential Election
Colorado Luis is enthuisiastic about a John Kerry - Gary Hart ticket. He thinks the Democrats would be signaling that they are serious about terrorism.
I first met Gary Hart as a student at Metropolitan State College around the time of the Vietnam war. Here's a link to his weblog. He doesn't update often.
A recent CBS News poll shows a deadlock in the 18 "Battleground" states, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin. New Mexico went Gore in 2000. Thanks to TalkLeft for the link.
TalkLeft posts some political satire. Warning: Unfavorable views of President Bush.
Rasmussen Reports has President Bush leading John Kerry 47 to 44. Thanks to the Daily Kos for the link. The Kos is getting blasted in the blogosphere.
Update: John Kerry has removed his advertisement from the Daily Kos website.
