I still have faith in Colorado, because of Colorado Springs and Douglas County, stanch Republican areas that continue to grow. Though there are Californians and other richies in ski resort land, I think the main focus will be on whether the GOP can hold their strong footholds in urban areas like El Paso, Douglas, Larimer, Arapahoe, and Jefferson Counties. Luckily for the GOP, Denver proper isn't as big as Detroit and other cities which prevent the GOP from taking the Midwest.
Arizona, likewise, as long as Bush can hold a comfortable lead in Maricopa County.
Nevada, I'm definitely concerned about as it was so close this election and has been consistently close. Nevada is also very close to CA and you have a lot more Calimigration going on here.
I also hope Utah and Idaho continue to grow and hopefully pick up a few EVs next census.
New Mexico, I think, will always remain close, with a slight democratic lean.
I've also lost a lot of faith in WA and OR unless the GOP gets a good local base going here.
