Denver November 2004 Election
Attorney General Ken Salazar has enlisted Mike Stratton as his campaign chairman, according to the Rocky Mountain News [Marcch 18, 2004, "Salazar chooses Stratton"]. From the article, "Stratton is the same man who chaired Tom Strickland's 2002 campaign, in which Strickland narrowly lost to U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard for the second time in six years." Salazar's spokesman, Cody Wertz, was busy last year at this time trying to get Don Mares elected mayor of Denver.
According to the Rocky Mike Miles has announced "a campaign manager Wednesday...Miles said his campaign will be managed by Kristin Homer, a branding consultant and project manager."
Peter Blake looks at the history of U.S. Senate races in Colorado in his column in yesterday's Rocky Mountain News [March 17, 2004, "Blake: No comfort for Salazar"]. Says Blake, "Attorney General Ken Salazar may take a large early lead against Republican Bob Schaffer, but he's been around long enough to realize that Democrats have a hard time winning Senate races in Colorado. When they win, their margins tend to be small. When they lose, they often get thrashed."
Blake also passes along this zinger, "Political wags are saying that because Rep. Scott McInnis is joining former Senate candidate Tom Strickland as a partner in the Denver office, their international law firm has agreed to honor the move by changing its name to Hogan, Hartson & Hasbeens."
