Ken Salazar beat Republican Pete Coors in the general election. Pete Coors beat former conservative Congressman Bob Schaffer in the GOP primary. I think Bob Schaffer would have made a better Senator then either Salazar or Coors. 2010 is still a ways off, but can't wait for someone to challenge Salazar for his Senate seat. This year would be a good time for someone to step froward and take back the old Scott McInnis GOP House seat now held by Democrat John Salazar, brother of Ken Salazar.
Salazar is an idiot. He once owned a Dairy Queen and thought that made him qualified to run for office. During his campaign he ran these stupid ads, wearing a cowboy hat and riding a horse around. Colorado voters fell for it. They thought he was a "real" cowboy or something based on the fact that he could sit on a horse.
