Few thoughts on this:
1) Horrible for the actual voters of Colorado, because it takes away any reason for EITHER candidate to really do much there. At best they get what, 1 more electoral vote?
2) Consequently, it will probably lose. Democrats figure it will use up some GOP money, which is true but not significant
3) I don't even like the CD thing- unless it was done nationally. States are mostly screwing themselves and also increasing the possibility of vote counting problems (extremely close counts are less likely over a state than a Congressional district)
4) Any Democrat that supports this should call for a similar system to be implemented in California, or admit to being a complete hypocrit
5) There could even be a little backfire potential here. If voters are educated, they aren't going to like it- and they're going to know who wanted it
