Denver November 2004 Election
Here's an article about the influence of groups outside of campaigns on the recent election, from the Rocky Mountain News [January 3, 2005, "Outsiders fueled election"]. From the article, "Outside groups raised more than $7 million to influence key state legislative races this year, more than double what the candidates raised themselves. The result was a $10 million political slugfest that stuffed mailboxes with fliers, clogged telephone lines with messages and saturated air waves with commercials, many of them negative. Candidates paid workers to wave signs on street corners, while independent committees paid hundreds to walk neighborhoods delivering campaign literature door-to-door."
Here's a background article about John Suthers from the Denver Post [January 3, 2005, "Heavy hitter's light touch"]. Mr. Suthers is expected to breeze into Senator-Elect Ken Salazar's empty Attorney General slot since being appointed by Governor Owens. From the article, "But Suthers uses a light touch as an administrator and has preferred consensus over controversy throughout his career, according to friends, former employees, and legal and political adversaries."
