Denver November 2004 Election
Early voting is going on today and tommorrow along with next week Monday through Friday. Vote early and vote often.
Here's a list of endorsements from the Denver Post [October 22, 2004, "The Denver Post's endorsements"].
Ken Salazar was campaigning in Coyote Gulch's neighborhood last night, according to the Rocky Mountain News [October 22, 2004, "Salazar missing sleep in quest for Senate seat"]. From the article, "U.S. Senate hopeful Ken Salazar kicked off his 'Sleepless in Colorado' tour Thursday night with a chartered bus, boxes of snacks and fired-up supporters. Salazar, Colorado's two-term attorney general, vowed not to stop until the polls close on Election Day."
Here's a look at the most expensive U.S. Senate race in Colorado history from the Rocky Mountain News [October 22, 2004, "Coors gets $1.65M in two weeks"]. From the article, "Meanwhile, the National Republican Senatorial Committee has spent a total of $1.3 million on anti-Salazar efforts. That amount is dwarfed, however, by the $2.4 million that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has invested in keeping Coors out of the Senate."
The Rocky Mountain News editorial staff is endorsing Diana DeGette for 1st Congressional [October 22, 2004, "Reps. DeGette, Udall and Musgrave"]. From the article, "Fortunately, voters in the 1st have had the sense these past eight years to elect Rep. Diana DeGette, a practical, thoughtful congresswoman with a definite independent streak. In the debate over drug reimportation, for example, DeGette bucked the anti-corporate demagoguery of many in her party and opposed flinging open the borders to any and all imports. Her fear: fraudulent medicines purchased over the Internet. The congresswoman also voted against the costly Medicare prescription drug benefit that will add at least $500 billion in federal spending over the next 10 years. We're not suggesting DeGette is a crusading fiscal conservative, but unlike some member of Congress - particularly in other safe urban districts - she refuses to reflexively embrace every attempt to increase the size and regulatory scope of government. Her time in Congress doesn't seem to have inflated her ego, either, meaning she's still approachable to average constituents."
