CO-PPP: Obama leads by 3%

Not saying this is possible, but what if this is the map on election day?

But with other polls, it does look like Colorado might pull another 2010. This could be a part of the realignment, if there is a realignment and the narrative would then be that the Republicans have reestablished their national party machine after 12 years of trying with qualified success and that the Democrats path back to relevancy is through a coalition of latte liberals and Perot-exurbanites. The constituents in the down market just don't vote and trying to get them to vote has convinced who we should be courting to vote Republican.

That's basically the meme that will come out of 2012 if Obama loses-

Poor people don't, or  perhaps, and in some cimcumstances can't  vote.

At either rate, the Democrats will not get another shot of real power until the demographics actually are "there" or until there is a crisis which is allowed to grow into its natural consequences.

Perhaps the election of 2008 and the resulting Obama presidency just came too soon.
