I'm Mike Miles, Dammit!

As the Rocky Mountain News dutifully reports:

Supporters of former U.S. Senate candidate Mike Miles say he was ahead of his time.

His campaign slogan in 2004 was “Be the Change.” He opposed the Iraq War and championed universal health care.

Although Miles edged rival Ken Salazar at the state Democratic convention in 2004 for top line position on the ballot, he lost to Salazar in the primary.

Now Miles would like Gov. Bill Ritter to appoint him to the Senate seat he once sought, but so far he’s gotten little attention.

Oh look, he just got some. Now go away.

It’s amazing that, four years later, Miles still holds onto this misplaced sense of entitlement. Reading the article above, he sounds like a guy who just can’t believe that he isn’t mentioned in the same breath as people who, you know, have actually gotten elected. But he deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Ed Perlmutter and John Hickenlooper and Andrew Romanoff, because…well…because he does.
