Follow this topic by RSS"Less than two weeks after the election, left-wing activists and bloggers have already turned their attention towards Sen. Ken Salazar. Seeking to punish Salazar for brief moments of lucidity such as helping to push through President Bush's judicial and cabinet appointees; Salazar is being targeted for a primary challenge in 2010.

Slideshow: It's official, it's an Obama-nation
A Face the State Staff Report
November 5, 2008Democrats and their supporters gathered last night at Denver's downtown Sheraton Hotel to celebrate the turning of Colorado from a purple state into solid blue.
"Democratic Senator Ken Salazar will never be confused with a charismatic wordsmith. But his blunt way of speaking proved hugely entertaining yesterday, when, during a conference call, he went off on Republican Marilyn Musgrave and her most recent attack ad against opposing Dem Betsy Markey. Salazar called Musgrave "an agent of hate" and claimed that the commercial was "so absolutely over the top that it should make the people of the 4th Congressional District throw up.""
"When politicians steps down either because of term limits or other reasons, their peers often pay homage to their outgoing brethren. Today U.S. Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Colo., paid tribute to his colleague, Sen. Wayne Allard, R-Colo.
Here is the text of Salazar’s speech."
Amendment 54 ad
September 23, 2008"Ken Salazar in his blind ambition to be elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004 seemed to have been willing to accept money from just about anyone. As if Salazar's acceptance of campaign money from a New Jersey law firm now at the center of a criminal corruption probe wasn't bad enough, one of his campaign donors is now facing up to 87 months in prison for hiding political contributions from the IRS."

Salazar misses an opportunity on oil shale
July 23, 2008Why is Colorado’s junior Senator against progress and production in America's energy industry?
"The only conclusion we can draw from [Salazar's] record is that he opposes increasing the supply of domestic oil – wherever or however it is proposed. The fact is Colorado is sitting on one of the world’s largest deposits of oil. The Green River Basin in Colorado, Wyoming and Utah has an estimated 1.7 trillion to 2. 1 trillion barrels of oil. This accounts for 62% of worldwide oil shale reserves, which amounts to over 800 million more barrels of oil than the world’s proven oil reserves."
