CO, Ras: Romney leads by 2

[Sbane]

Not saying this is totally accurate, but some of the data points to Colorado possibly being more Republican than the nation.

Frankly, the whole "new majority" narrative about Colorado and even Nevada has been wrong for six long years.

Bit of a stretch to lump Nevada in with this.  

CO is a state that is whiter than average, has less black people than average and has more independents than average. A large swing back shouldn't surprise us. Nevada will likely trend Republican as well, but let's not forget that Obama won there by 12 points.

I think CO may be the ultimate  tipping point state and will come in right around the national average. So if the Rasmussen view of the electorate is right, then Romney is ahead 2 nationwide and ahead 2 in CO. Makes sense.

But his other state polling has been more favorable towards Obama. I think his national numbers are bullsh**t, tbh.

Obama needs to slam Romney on his vow to increase military spending here. The wars are a big reason Colorado swung to Obama.
