Possibly.

In 2000, it was about seven points more conservative than the rest of the nation.

North Carolina, Indiana, Virginia and Colorado were more conservative, and Obama won all four in 2008.

You would need a Democrat who could appeal to Western voters, or a Republican who is particularly alienating to the groups.

It seems unlikely to happen in the near future, just because the Democratic candidate in 2016 is really unlikely to do better than Obama in 2012.

But it John Hickenlooper is nominated against Rick Santorum, it's possible.
