Denver November 2004 Election
Attorney General Ken Salazar has collected over $1 million in the first month of his campaign for a U.S. Senate seat from Colorado, according to the Rocky Mountain News. The Rocky is also reporting that state Democrats are questioning whether Peter Coors is a consensus-building, moderate [May 4, 2004, "Dems point to Coors' e-mails"]. From the article, "(Jim) Gibson said he has been stunned in recent weeks to see the state's top Republicans portray Coors as a moderate - and therefore more electable than the other top GOP candidate in the race, former Congressman Bob Schaffer. 'This is an extreme makeover,' Gibson said Monday. 'They're trying to paint Coors as a mainstream, pragmatic problem-solver. The real Peter Coors is a right-wing, polarizing, all-or-nothing partisan.'"

2004 Presidential Election
News that John Kerry is running TV spots in Colorado is an indicator that his campaign considers Colorado one of the battleground states in this year's presidential election, according to the Denver Post [May 4, 2004, "Kerry campaign targets $1 million in ads at Colo."]. From the article, "Kerry strategists said that their polling in Colorado, and a strong 2004 ticket led by Attorney General Ken Salazar, who is campaigning for the U.S. Senate, persuaded them to invest in the state...Devine, a top adviser, said the Kerry campaign's decision to add Colorado and Louisiana to the campaign's other targeted states also will offer an unexpected challenge to the president's campaign...Bush carried Colorado with just 51 percent of the vote in 2000, but the state was viewed as safely, or leaning, Republican, and was not a major factor in the presidential campaign."
The 2000 election turned on a U.S. Supreme court decision over Florida but in 2004 the country seems even more evenly divided. President Bush was stumping in Michigan and Ohio yesterday, two other states where the vote could go either way. More background here, here, and here.
Update: Opinions You Should Have: "Clinton responsible for prisoner abuse, says Bush."
Update: The Daily Kos is reporting that Senator John Kerry is leading President Bush 42 to 38 with 19% undecided according to a recent Sacred Heart University Poll.
Update: Taegan Goddard: "Bush and Kerry deadlocked in Arkansas," according to RasmussenReports.com.
Update: The Los Angeles Times is reporting that the 20004 Presidential Election will cost $1 billion. Maybe I should start running ads.
