DENVER (AP) Former presidential candidate John Edwards on Monday endorsed Attorney General Ken Salazar for his U.S. Senate race.

Edwards cited Salazar's leadership on consumer protection and other law enforcement issues. Edwards is a Democratic U.S. senator from North Carolina.

Edwards also held a fundraiser for Salazar.

Salazar campaign spokesman Cody Wertz said he had no estimate of how much was raised.

1. Well, that's a good thing. I like Edwards a lot, and Ken, and Mike.

Choice, isn't that a good thing?

They are all good guys, and I think things are looking up. The good guys seem to be on our side. Now, Schaeffer sp? (not on our side)is a good guy, but his priorities are too focused on the religiously narrow things. Too bad, maybe he should be a pastor instead of a politician. Now, that could be a good thing. :D

2. Lots of Good Candidates In the Democratic Party

Look what the GOP has by comparison - G.W. Bush, Pete Coors, Tom Tancredo.... :puke:

Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful Ken Salazar would beat Republican Bob Schaffer if the election were today, according to a Rocky Mountain News/News 4 poll.

Even so, the Schaffer campaign found good news in the numbers.

That's because, according to the poll conducted by Public Opinion Strategies, Salazar also would beat Pete Coors - the silver-haired political novice with the golden name who's challenging Schaffer for the Republican nomination. And Salazar would beat Coors by an even wider margin.

Schaffer spokeswoman Elizabeth Blackney credited the results to Schaffer's track record in Congress and in the Colorado Senate. As to Coors' famous name, she said, "We've been very comfortable with Bob's name recognition."
