If Salazar Wins he would be the only Hispanic U.S. Senator
Voters in Colorado prefer Democrat Attorney General Ken
Salazar over Republican Pete Coors for U.S. Senate, the Rocky Mountain
News said Monday. Fifty-three percent of the 500 registered Colorado
voters surveyed picked Salazar as their preferred Senate candidate
against 42 percent who said Coors. Only 4 percent of the voters said
they were undecided. The poll showed Salazar winning the Hispanic and
rural vote -- critical voters blocs in the upcoming election. Pollster
Lori Weigel of Public Opinion Strategies, the firm that conducted the
poll, said, "The thing that is difficult for Coors right now is his
image is beer and not much else," Weigel said. "A third of the voters
look at him and think 'beer." Coors is a member of the Coors brewing
family. [more ] and [more]
