Denver November 2004 Election Supreme Court Justice Breyer, who was appointed by Bill Clinton, refused to grant a stay in the redistricting request from state Republican legislators, according to the Rocky Mountain News [January 29, 2004, "Supreme Court rejects redistricting stay"]. From the article, "State Senate President John Andrews, R-Centennial, said Republicans would not pursue a stay from another judge and will wait for a decision by the court on whether it will take up the issue. The ruling makes it likely that Secretary of State Donetta Davidson will use the same map that was used for congressional elections two years ago. That map, drawn by a judge after lawmakers failed to come up with the boundaries in time for the November 2002 election, is more favorable to Democrats (ed. than the map drawn by Republicans last Spring)." Analysis of the issue from the American Kestrel siding with the Republicans. 5:47:26 PM

2004 Presidential Election Democratic debate in South Carolina tonight. Early polling results from Missouri from the Daily Kos. John Kerry is at 47% with Howard Dean and John Edwards at 17%. Colorado Luis is watching the race for Democratic Presidential nomination for clues as to how they will court the Hispanic vote. Mr. Toro, "If South Carolina is, as Prometheus 6 suggests, a proxy for Black America -- at least as far as the Democrats' South Carolina primary is concerned -- then are the Arizona and New Mexico primaries proxies for Aztlan, er, 'Hispanic' America?" 7:08:37 AM
