Denver November 2004 Election

There will be debate about continuing the Scientific and Cultural District tax tonight on KBDI, Channel 12, 9:00 - 9:30 p.m.

Here's the third editorial speaking out against FasTracks from the Rocky Mountain News [September 10, 2004, "Too many eggs in one FasTracks basket"]. From the editorial, "So what is the answer? Despite our strong skepticism of FasTracks, we are not opponents of rapid transit. We supported regional Referendum 4A in 1999, which authorized the Regional Transportation District to float bonds to build the southeast rail line that is now under way, and are pleased with the relative success of the southwest line that preceded it. We'd support a third line of rail between downtown Denver and the Jefferson County government center as part of a regional plan, as well as a designated lane of bus-rapid transit along U.S. 36 to Boulder. Beyond that, however, further rapid transit lines need to be assessed in light of the competing need for additional revenue to improve metro roads and highways, on which the vast majority of us will continue to travel."

2004 Presidential Election

Electoral-vote.com: "The tie in Colorado has been broken. Kerry is now ahead there (by 1%) for the first time, but it doesn't mean anything since it is well within the MoE. Still Colorado appears to be in play. It would be ironic if Kerry won Colorado and only got 5 votes in the electoral college due to the referendum the Democrats pushed. If you haven't followed the referendum story, type: referendum in the Google search box at the bottom of the page. This box can be used to search all pages on the site. A new Survey USA poll ending Sept. 8 in Ohio, shows the race tightening there. Bush's 9% lead is now down to 3% there. He is now leading 50% to 47%. Bush's lead is also dropping in North Carolina (now 4%) and Virginia (now only 3%). Maybe the South will rise again (for Kerry, this time). At the very least, if Bush has to fight for some of the southern states, that will divert time and money from the Midwest. One piece of good news for Bush comes from an unlikely state: New Jersey. Kerry's lead in New Jersey is falling precipitously. It is down to 4% now, 43% to 39%, with Nader at 5%. Of course, it remains to be seen whether Nader will really get 5% there, or anywhere."

Taegan Goddard: "The latest Democracy Corps survey, conducted by a Democratic polling firm, shows President Bush leading Sen. John Kerry 48% to 45%."

ABC News: "Among likely voters in this ABC News/Washington Post survey, Bush has 52 percent support, Kerry 43 percent, Ralph Nader 2 percent."

DailyKos: "California - SurveyUSA (PDF), 9/6-8. MoE 4.1%, Kerry 52, Bush 42; North Carolina - SurveyUSA (PDF), 9/6-8. MoE 4.2%, Bush 50, Kerry 46; Ohio - SurveyUSA (PDF), 9/6-8. MoE 3.8%, (No trend lines), Bush 50, Kerry 47."
