Hopefuls' war chests bulging Coors-Salazar race tab nears $14 million; finance law may kick in By Mike Soraghan Denver Post Staff Writer Washington - Multimillionaire brewery executive Pete Coors put another $400,000 of his own money into Colorado's U.S. Senate race, helping drive the price tag of the most expensive race in Colorado history to nearly $14 million. The Republican is $20,000 away from triggering the "millionaire's amendment" in new federal campaign-finance laws, which would allow Democrat Ken Salazar to get more money from people who have already given the maximum to his campaign. Still, Salazar has outraised Coors overall. The state attorney general has taken in $7.4 million, while Coors has raised $6.3 million, including his own money. "It's very impressive and one more piece of evidence that Colorado is key to control of the Senate," said Jennifer Duffy, an analyst at the Cook Political Report. The figures come from campaign finance reports due on Thursday. Coors outspent Salazar 2-to-1 during the first two weeks of this month, as campaigns increasingly turned from raising money to burning through it. Coors spent about $1.1 million from Oct. 1 to Oct. 13, while Salazar spent about $550,000.
