Denver November 2004 Election
Jim Martin confirmed that he is out of the race for C.U. Regent despite winning the primary last week, according to the Denver Post [August 17, 2004, "Martin officially out of CU race"]. From the article, "The Democratic Party has five days to convene a vacancy committee to select a new candidate, party chairman Chris Gates said. If there is no quorum, the task falls to Gates. Possible candidates include Stealey and Howard Gelt, who lost the regent's Democratic primary in the 1st Congressional District to Michael Carrigan. Others also may be considered, Gates said." Here's the coverage from the Rocky Mountain News [August 17, 2004, "Martin says no again"].
Peter Coors' strong victory in last week's primary was due in part to his campaign wooing non-traditional primary voters and independents, according to the Rocky Mountain News [August 17, 2004, "Coors recruited infrequent voters"].
Update: MakesMeRalph: "I've been telling everybody and anybody that the 3rd is Colorado's best shot for a Democratic pickup, and with the way the primary turned out, it's pretty much a lock."
Update: 9News is pointing to a Survey USA poll for the U.S. Senate race in Colorado. From the article, "According to a 9News poll conducted by SurveyUSA, if the election were held today: 48 percent of Coloradoans would vote for Coors, 47 percent would vote for Salazar. The poll also shows voting results according to race and gender. Coors leads with male voters (54 percent), while Salazar leads with female voters (53 percent). Seventy-five percent 7of Hispanic voters, 62 percent of black voters and 53 percent of other minority voters chose Salazar, while 53 percent of white voters chose Coors." The same poll has the presidential race neck and nect at 47% each.
