Denver November 2004 Election
The Colorado caucuses were well attended affairs last night, according to the Denver Post [April 14, 2004, "Races for Senate, presidency stoke state's caucuses"]. From the article, "Democrats said Attorney General and Senate candidate Ken Salazar received much of the delegate support. State party chair Chris Gates said that 32 of the state's counties were counted and 50 percent of the delegates favored Salazar. Nine percent favored educator Mike Miles. The rest were undecided. Gates said that from the counties contacted, Miles' support fell short of the 30 percent needed to force Salazar into a primary." That's really too bad. Mr. Miles is a quality individual that has worked hard. I wonder if he'll try to get on the primary ballot with a petition effort? Here's the coverage from the Rocky Mountain News [April 14, 2004, "'People are very pumped'"].
As expected, Peter Coors jumped into the race for Ben Nighthorse Campbell's U.S. Senate seat yesterday, according to the Denver Post [April 14, 2004, "'Common-sense' Coors joins race"]. Here's the coverage from the Rocky Mountain News [April 14, 2004, "Coors makes it official"].
Denver voters may get to vote on FasTracks this fall afterall, according to the Rocky Mountain News [April 14, 2004, "FasTracks picks up steam toward ballot"]. From the article, "The committee concluded FasTracks, a 12-year program by the Regional Transportation District for expanded rapid-transit and bus service, is on solid footing, even if the economy doesn't recover as much as expected." According to the Rocky, "Next Wednesday, the full DRCOG board will vote on whether to approve the plan. The following day, the RTD board will vote on sending the issue to the Colorado secretary of state's office for placement on the Nov. 4 ballot."
