Doubt she'd lose Colorado in a landslide win. She might win 54% nationally and get 51-52% in Colorado but with Presidential turnout she should win it. Not sure the GOP is winning everything there, Hickenlooper might survive and they might only win one legislative house.
Most polls do have him up, I see a lot more red than blue or grey and its consistent. And even Republican cheerleaders like backtored aren't totally confident in the GOP's house prospects. However, if the Democrats do stay at the helm in Colorado, it could actually make them bigger targets in 2016. If Republicans do sweep in 2014 (I saw on the wikipedia page that the last time they actually totally swept was in 1972), they will be big targets in 2016, 2018 and 2020..and especially because Beauprez, while getting elected making sweetheart deals with big oil (deregulating drilling) and being tough on crime (kill Dunlap and re legalize gun shows) will probably overreach on marijuana, austerity on K-12, the environment and gender rights.
All in all, I think what happens locally will determine which swing states will be important. (which states will quickly swing to the winner, which states will swing to the winner, but won't ultimately be needed, and which states will swing the other way).
