Colorado Senate Race Tight

[Champ]

DENVER - The rivals for an open seat in the U.S. Senate couldn't be more vintage Colorado: Democrat Ken Salazar comes from a fifth-generation ranching family in the San Luis Valley; Republican Pete Coors is an executive in a family brewing business synonymous with the Rockies' snowcapped peaks.


The similarities end there.


One of the most closely watched political races in the state's history has turned into a dogfight between two men who insist they could not be more different — on the war in Iraq (news - web sites), taxes, abortion, the death penalty. They even squabbled on national television about who started mudslinging first.


Behind all of it is a nationally funded campaign infused with negative TV ads to fill an open seat held by retiring Republican Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell (news, bio, voting record).


Republicans hold a Senate majority of 51 to 48 and one independent. Colorado is among eight toss-up states that will determine whether they maintain, expand or lose that majority.

1. Coors is not well-liked in rural areas.

Mainly because his company is a big polluter. Working on the campaign, and having met Ken a few times, I can tell you that this is the man I want representing the state of Colorado in the senate.

4. Could you give me some resources on that? Refer me to where

I could read about "(Coors) company is a big polluter?" And why is Coors "not well-liked in rural areas?" Perhaps Salazar's campaign is knowledgeable about this?

I'm attempting to get as much info on Coors as possible to sway some Colorado voters.

Thanks.

2. I hope Salazar wins - Coors is a right wing idiot and bad for Colorado

Let's hope Salazar can do it!

3. It would help if Ken

showed a little life now and then. I watched him on MTP and he was pretty uninspiring.
