Well now Dave Winer is pointing to Tim Bray. Says Winer, "Last year on this day Tim Bray had the right idea about what Atom should be. (It was called Echo then.) I found it interesting to write down his goals, and see how the Atom project has deviated, which is now on track to reinvent NewsML or ICE, anything but Really Simple Syndication."

2004 Presidential Election

John Kerry leads George Bush nationally, 45% to 44%, according to a recent CBS News poll.

Daily Kos: "West Virginia, Zogby/WSJ Poll, Bush 49, Kerry 43. Meanwhile, while the overall news (SCOTUS decision, Iraq, F9/11 box office, etc.) does not favor Bush, not every bit of news favors Kerry. Note the disappointing trend in W Va."

Taegan Goddard: "Here are the latest state polls in the presidential race: Colorado - Bush 48%, Kerry 43% (Denver Post); Mississippi - Bush 61%, Kerry 30% (Mississippi State).

Denver November 2004 Election

The primary election is August 10th.

Three seats will be filled this year on the CU Board of Regents. Here's an article from the Rocky Mountain News [June 28, 2004, "Ten running for regent"]. The Rocky lists four candidates from 1st Congressional (Denver), "Michael Carrigan - Denver, Lawyer, Democrat; Howard Gelt - Denver, lawyer, Democrat; Mel Hilgenberg - Denver, Educational consultant and Wild Oats cashier, Republican; Randall Swan - Denver, Museum consultant, Republican.

The Independence Institute is mounting a campaign against FasTracks, according to the Rocky Mountain News [June 28, 2004, "Think tank's report attacks FasTracks"]. From the article, "The free market-oriented think tank is linked to a campaign organization called Taxpayers Against Congestion, formed recently to fight the November ballot measure. In the report, the institute also alleges that FasTracks will cost more than 1997's failed Guide the Ride; cost nearly $8,000 per resident before the debt is paid; not be paid off until 2048; cost $11,500 for every new transit rider; and not reduce traffic congestion or air pollution."

The economy and the drought are the big issues for Colorado voters this year, according to the Denver Post [June 28, 2004, "Economy, drought top voters' concerns"]. From the article, "In a recent poll by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc., Colorado registered voters were asked what national and state issues were most important. Click here to see the results of the poll. Voters cited the economy and unemployment as most influential when deciding whom to vote for in the presidential and U.S. Senate races. More of them also named the economy, jobs and economic development as key for Colorado. But nearly as many state voters said water issues and the drought are the most important issues facing Colorado." They have a graphic of the poll results here.

Update: I missed this article from earlier today. Ken Salazar is the early leader in the Colorado U.S. Senate Democratic primary race, according to the Denver Post [June 28, 2004, "Salazar out front, poll says"]. Attorney General Ken Salazar leads Mike Miles 61% to 15% with undecided comimg in at 24%. The poll also shows Salazar leading in a match agains either Peter Coors or Bob Schaffer.
