Denver November 2004 Election
 State Senator Dan Grossman is helping to start a small donor committee called Wake up Colorado. They have an events calendar.
Here's a story about Mike Miles and his showing at Saturday's Denver County Democratic Party assembly, from the Denver Post [May 10, 2004, "Dem is underdog in Senate primary"]. From the article, "For his part, Miles says he's confident he'll snag the 30 percent of total delegates needed to make the primary ballot. Still, he's pragmatic about his chances of beating Salazar, who has raised more than a $1 million to Miles' $220,000. 'I'm not crazy,' he said. 'I know I'm losing right now.'"
Here's a short article from the Post about Saturday's assembly [May 9, 2004, "Metro counties fill their ballots"]. From the article, "Beth McCann and John Walsh will square off on their party's Aug. 10 primary election ballot. McCann, a deputy state attorney general, received the most support, with 45 percent of delegates at Denver's county assembly. Walsh, a former chief of the Major Frauds Section of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles, garnered 31 percent of the delegate nominations, just barely meeting the required 30 percent to make it into the party's primary...Mitch Morrissey, a longtime Denver prosecutor who had the endorsement of the term-limited Ritter, fell short with 24 percent of delegate votes. Morrissey still can and will gather petition signatures to qualify for the primary, campaign spokesman Jason Bane said."
The Democratic Underground has started a new website called the Campaign Underground. Here's what they say on the website, "Welcome to Campaign Underground, a collaborative effort by the administrators and members of Democratic Underground. The site is currently under development. We hope that this site will become a useful tool to help Democrats across the country become better informed and more involved in political activism. Right now, DU members are collecting information about political campaigns and local media outlets across the country. If you want to help out in your state, please send us an email."
They have a cool mapping control for navigation. Here's a look at Colorado. I love seeing a place to register to vote. Register voters, get them to the polls, win elections.
Thanks to Ed Cone for the link.
Update: Jeffrey Zeldman "Yesterday, Blogger, the self-publishing service that launched a thousand weblogs, reinvented itself. The new version is more competitive with Movable Type and other high-end blogging packages on the 'features' level, while striving to be easier for novices to use than any other web publishing software. New in this version: good-looking, standards-compliant (XHTML 1.0 Strict, CSS layout) templates created by some familiar names from the world of standards-based design. Plug, play, and go."
All you candidates, in the November election, should create a Blogger weblog tomorrow if you don't already have your own weblog. Well, that should read, all you candidates, except John Walsh.  Let's get the discussion going. Why not really take a chance. Mr. Morrisey and Ms. McAnn, why don't you post in Mr. Walsh's comments section?
Update: Colorado Luis analyzes Mike Miles' staying power.
