The Dems will never take Colorado
Considering that it was very close compared to the national average this year, and isn't historically all that Republican, I can't imagine why not...
1) Florida was close in 2000, what now? 2) No Democrat has won more than half the vote in Colorado in 40 years. 3) Coors was a TERRIBLE senate candidate
1. Popular Govenor as the President's brother just after a disaster with the hurricanes in many parts of the state...
CO is trending Democrat, in 2004 it was 2% more GOP than the NatL average. It was closer to the National average than states like PA, MN, MI, WI, NH, FL. When you look at the battleground states, you have to look at how the state compares to the Natl average. COmpared to the Natl Average CO was the 5th closest state with only, NV, OH, IA & NM being closer. To say the Dems don't havce a chance at CO in 08 is silly at best. The state is trending Dem, & was pretty close to the Natl average in 04, its basically a tossup in 08
