2004 Presidential Election
Taegan Goddard: "President Bush is putting ads on in Louisiana and Colorado this week, 'following rival John Kerry's decision to launch TV commercials in the two GOP-friendly states,' the AP reports."
Political wire is also reporting that the "Ten Commandments Judge," Roy Moore of Alabama may mount a run at President Bush from the right.
Update: Taegan Goddard: "If the election were today, Bush would edge Kerry 46% to 42%. 'Ralph Nader could play a major role in deciding the election... Nader polled 5 percent in the new survey, more than the margin between the two major candidates.' The poll had a 3 percentage-point margin of sampling error."
Update: Political Wire: "Bush approval sinks."
Update: The latest RasmussenReports.com national poll shows Senator Kerry holding on to a slim lead over President Bush, 47 to 43.

Denver November 2004 Election
Here's a short article about Peter Coors from the Rocky Mountain News [May 5, 2004, "One major difference"]. Mr. Coors claims that he has the best chance of beating Attorney General Ken Salazar in November and that keeping the U.S. Senate in Republican hands is the main reason he is running.
Peter Blake reports that Mike Miles is picking up support from state Democrats and could make the primary ballot in his column in today's Rocky Mountain News [May 5, 2004, "Blake: Miles narrowing the gap"].
Ken Salazar started running TV Ads on Tuesday, according to the Denver Post [May 5, 2004, "Salazar airs 1st TV ads in Colorado Senate race"]. From the article, "The $400,000-plus TV blitz comes more than two months earlier than ads in the 2002 race between Sen. Wayne Allard and former U.S. Attorney Tom Strickland. Salazar's campaign launched the early run as a way to raise money in a bid that Stratton said he expects will cost $7 million, and as a pre-emptive strike."
