Denver November 2004 Election
Here's an in-depth look at Senator-elect Ken Salazar from the Denver Post [December 5, 2004, "Salazar reluctant to wave Hispanic banner"]. From the article, "As he becomes one of the Senate's two Hispanic members, Ken Salazar is going to be pushed into a role he is clearly uncomfortable with: a high-profile voice for Hispanics nationwide. He may push back, at first. Salazar resists being labeled Hispanic in much the same way golfer Tiger Woods dislikes others' attempts to identify him with any single racial category. Salazar's might be a smart position to take in a state that's 75 percent white and only 17 percent Hispanic. But experts agree the political reality is that Salazar will have no choice."
Here's a article about Salazar, written by Luis Toro, on the 5280 Weblog.
