Denver November 2004 Election
Attorney General Ken Salazar and Mike Miles are trying to display the knowledge of foreign affairs, according to the Rocky Mountain News [May 21, 2004, "Candidates on Israel"]. From the article, "Salazar is the first candidate in the race to offer a detailed position on Israel on his Web site, and it is his first on foreign policy outside of Iraq. Salazar has never served in Congress, and some Republicans questioned his foreign policy credentials when he entered the race in March. The Israel statement rebuffs that criticism, said Jim Carpenter, Salazar's campaign manager...Mike Miles, Salazar's rival for the Democratic Senate nomination, took a more nuanced view Thursday. The former U.S. diplomat said he opposes assassinations and a "unilaterally built" security fence, actions he called 'heavy-handed.' Miles said he supports a set of regional peace accords negotiated last year."
Salazar's campaign is claiming that they have a webblog but it's just a series of photos. Oh yeah, most people spell it weblog.
The State Democratic Convention is this weekend and top billing on the August 10th primary ballot is up for grabs, according to the Rocky [May 21, 2004, "Salazar, Miles duel for prized spot in August primary"]. From the article, "The convention's big prize, for Senate candidates Ken Salazar and Mike Miles, is the top spot on the August primary ballot. That goes to the man who wins the most party delegates, and Salazar's campaign is confident he'll get it. Miles wants the top line, too. He's also looking for something less tangible, but maybe more important: momentum for his underfunded, underdog campaign." Here's the coverage from the Denver Post [May 21, 2004, "State Dems convene amid fervor, rancor"].
Colorado Democratic Party State Convention and Assembly: 6 to 9 p.m. today; 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday; Today - Pueblo Convention Center, 320 Central Main St., Pueblo; Saturday - Colorado State Fairgrounds Events Center, 1001 Beulah Ave., Pueblo.
Convention parties: Ken and John Salazar, who are running for the U.S. Senate and House, respectively; from 5-8 tonight at the El Pueblo Museum Galleria; Mike Miles, who is running for Senate, Marriott Hotel Patio; 5 p.m.
Here's an article about the four primary candidates for U.S. Senate from Colorado from the Denver Post [May 21, 2004, "4 Senate hopefuls, 4 plans to win"]. From the article, "Colorado's Democratic attorney general, Ken Salazar, donned his white cowboy hat and hit the road last month in his 10-year-old pickup on a statewide tour. His underdog opponent, Mike Miles, a Colorado Springs educator and former U.S. Army Ranger, lights up his fan base with fiery anti-war rhetoric. Brewery executive Peter Coors taps friends in high places - Gov. Bill Owens touts him and Campbell endorsed him. Former Congressman Bob Schaffer raises doubts about Coors' credentials by criticizing the businessman's lack of political experience and his company's financial support of Democrats. The measure of those strategies begins rolling in this weekend when Democrats hold their state assembly in Pueblo to decide who gets on the Aug. 10 primary ballot. Republicans hold their state convention the first weekend in June."
