Denver November 2004 Election
Mike Miles is the subject of this story from the Rocky Mountain News [June 8, 2004, "Miles' support growing louder"]. From the article, "The 47-year-old father of three has a lot to say. On a day campaigning from Colorado Springs to Boulder and back, Miles expounds on the divisions in the Democratic Party, the difficulties of running an underfunded campaign and, of course, the performance of the Bush administration. Everything he says is peppered with a conviction that his supporters adore and political analysts generally dismiss: That a small-town educator, a first-time candidate - a little guy, if you will - can topple two party machines and win a U.S. Senate seat."
A divided U.S. Supreme Court decided not to take on the case of Colorado's midnight gerrymander from last spring, according to the Denver Post [June 8, 2004, "GOP gets hit again on remap"]. From the article, "The decision assures that voters and candidates will use the same congressional boundaries in November's elections as were used in 2002. Republicans asked the nation's highest court to hear the case in an attempt to win approval of a political map that favors more GOP candidates. Republican officials said Monday that they will continue the battle in a separate case pending in U.S. District Court, which could provide an alternative route to the U.S. Supreme Court." Here's the coverage from the Rocky Mountain News [June 8, 2004, "Justices decline redistricting case"].
