So when is Miles going to concede?
So we don't have to hear from him anymore?

3. Thank you CODem
I think his remarks were uncalled for. Even Salazar said he had "nothing but good things to say about Mike." Mike's a good guy, and we were lucky to have two great candidates.

Congratulations to Ken - I look forward to Dems kicking ass this November!

4. Delusions of grandeur
Thought he could beat Campbell or Salazar. Now he won't give in. He's not just a Don Quixote - he's nuts!

2. What's that supposed to mean?
And when the hell have you even heard from him? He was SCREWED by the media! No one heard shit from him!

Let's remember we're all on the same team here with one goal - elect Democrats. I think Miles added volumes to the debate/discourse, and took stands that I see many here at DU taking. The way you dismiss him is rude...

5. Face It
Mike Miles ran for two years for that Senate nomination. And after two years of running, he was only able to get 27% of the vote.

Like it or not, the Democrats in Colorado have spoken.

6. Not Yet....
Attorney general gets Democratic nod

By Amy Hebert and Leah Franklin, Camera Staff Writers
August 11, 2004

DENVER —
Democrats chose their highest-elected statewide leader Tuesday to vie for the state's U.S. Senate seat — considered pivotal nationally — in November's general election.

Unofficial results from the Democratic primary showed Attorney General Ken Salazar handily defeated Colorado Springs-area educator Mike Miles with 74 percent of the vote with 87 percent of precincts counted as of 11:30 p.m.

Salazar — surrounded by his wife, daughters and extended family — blew kisses and gave repeated thumbs-up to his cheering supporters gathered for his victory speech at Bogey's on the Park in Denver.

"Thanks from the very bottom of my heart for believing in an America of hope, and opportunity and progress for all people," Salazar said.

Miles, who campaigned for 2 1/2 years but raised only about one-tenth as much money as Salazar, didn't concede defeat but addressed his supporters late Tuesday at the Walnut Foundry Event Center in Denver.
