If that's the final map, it will likely be Mitt's spectacularly bad standing with Hispanics that caused him to lose CO and NV if he was able to run the table with all the eastern swing-states.

If that's the case, the GOP should be kicking themselves for seeing nothing wrong with the fact that they have essentially become the White-People-Who-Don't-Live-in-Cities Party.

I would move out of CO faster than you can blink if that happened, and give the state border sign the bird.

That would indeed be a depressing result.

Though, on the bright side, the map itself does look good.

This is true, but the Hispanics in Florida are significantly different politically (heavily Republican Cuban-American population) than the Hispanics in Colorado.

Yes, but white people in CO are more amenable to Mr. Obama than white people in FL. So are Hispanics, for that matter (no pesky Cubans who can't get over their Lost Cause).
