Salazar out front, poll says

[Freddie Stubbs]

Coors has slight GOP edge; AG tops all Senate matchups

State Attorney General Ken Salazar would defeat either of the Republican candidates running for Colorado's open U.S. Senate seat if the election were today, according to a poll for The Denver Post.

Salazar leads brewery executive Pete Coors and former Congressman Bob Schaffer in potential head-to-head contests this November.

But in a battle between the best-known candidates - Salazar and Coors - the lead of 7 percentage points is close enough to make the race highly competitive.

Against Schaffer, Salazar leads by 14 percentage points.

1. Salazar thumps Miles

In the Democratic primary

Salazar 61
Miles 15
Undecided 24

2. I wouldn't buy that bunk

Miles wins resoundingly in August primaries.

3. I'm Not Too Sure About That, Hawkeye

Ken Salazar is very popular here in Southern Colorado. He's a local boy, browing up in the San Luis Valley. And with his brother John running for the 3rd CD, I think many voters down here will be voting for Ken as well.

4. Well, I'd rather have someone who's been campaigning for 2 years

against Nightmare vs Salazar who just jumped in at the last possible moment since Nightmare decided to retire.

I have a strong faith in Mike Miles in pulling it off. He did win the state convention top ballotting for August primaries. I expect to see him win that primary too because of his hard-working ethics.

Ken, IMHO, would be a MUCH better governor than Slimowens, although he is term limited (thank GOD for that), but Norton is a lose-lose proposition for the Repukes anyway.

5. I Would Have Preferred to See Mike Myles Run for the 5th CD Seat

And get rid of Joel "The Combover" Hefley.

6. You and me both..

but if Mike Miles can reach to the top and successfully win, then he's a rising Democratic star for Colorado.

7. This may sound like a rehash from the primaries...

...but I'm excited about both of them, for different reasons.

I know I'll go to the polls this year in CO voting for a candidate, no matter what. That's a good feeling. :)

8. Campaigning for two years and only at 15% in the polls?

That isn't a very very promising sign.
