Gaming the States: Colorado

[Kaine for Senate '18]

How close can the Democrats make it?  Can they win?
Clinton v. McCain: McCain 52-47
Clinton v. Huckabee: Clinton 52-47

Obama v. McCain: McCain 53-46
Obama v. Huckabee: Obama 52-47

Clinton: 213
McCain: 225

I nearly agree with you, I'd just give Clinton and Obama a big higher against Huckabee.

Obama would have a (very) outside shot.  Clinton wouldn't

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Unless something odd happens, Clinton will not win Colorado.

[TheresNoMoney]

I think Obama can definitely win Colorado, although it won't be easy. Kerry got 47% in 2004, right?

[Sbane]

Obama vs Mccain would lead to a tossup but against Huckabee he wins easily. Clinton will win it narrowly against Huckabee and will have no chance against Mccain.

How do you figure?... not saying i disagree, it's just it is a state that the Dems (regardless of nominee) are likley to fancy their chances in.

[Verily]

You think Clinton would do better than Obama in Colorado? ...

[poster with less than 1000 posts]If McCain is having any problems here, he should just add Tancredo as his running mate. There's no question that Tancredo would lock up this state as it's his home state. He'd probably help in New Mexico too.[/poster with less than 1000 posts]

Obama could win it, Clinton could not. I also don't think McCain is that popular here (Probably for his immigration stance.) Mitt Romney got over 60% here in the GOP caucuses.

[Gustaf]

Immigration and mormons probably hurt McCain. Libertarian-leaning independents help him. I think Clinton wouldn't stand a chance here. It's exactly the kind of state where she would do badly against him. Obama on the other hand would be  tough competition. I think that if Obama wins the GE he wins Colorado.

[Aizen]

There's barely any Mormons in Colorado. There's more in Washington and Oregon than in Colorado.

Yeah, I know that now. I thought someone said there was during the Super Tuesday disussions. Must have mixed it up with some other state from the Southwest. I've always found Colorado a bit unpredictable.

Colorado hates the Clintons.

[Lief 🗽]

If Obama runs, Colorado will swing hard Democrat.

If Clinton runs, there's no point in even trying.

[หมูเด้ง]

The Dems can't do it without going above 48.5% in Colorado.
