Denver November 2004 Election
Ken Salazar is not the U.S. Senator-elect from Colorado any longer. He was sworn in yesterday, according to the Rocky Mountain News [January 5, 2004, "Salazar brothers take office"]. Congratulations Senator. Give 'em hell in inside the beltway.
The Denver Post editorial staff sounds off on Senator Salazar and Congressman Salazar today [January 5, 2004, "Salazars take office inside the Beltway"]. They write, "Shortly after he was elected, it was clear Ken Salazar was ready to dive into his work. He's already met with attorney general nominee Alberto Gonzales and eventually could cast a key vote on his confirmation. (So far, he says he expects to help confirm Gonzales.) And he recently signalled that he won't be steamrolled, saying Republicans can expect a "bloody fight" if they try limiting filibusters on judicial nominees. He said it would send the wrong signal about the parties working together and suggested unnecessary showdowns can be avoided by President Bush consulting with both parties before making nominations."
