My Uncle lives CO. He hates 0bama. But he says if you go into Denver and the suburbs, it’s utterly hopeless, 60% plus support for the Kenyan in those parts.
He says the only hope Romney has is real heavy turnout in the rural areas (minus Aspen) and El Paso County (Colorado Springs). But he says even with heavy turnout by the GOP, he still thinks 0bama has enough votes in the Denver area to offset it and will win CO. He says CO is pretty much a blue state now.

Agreed.
The damage has been done in Colorado — too many liberals have moved in and “tipped” the state over to the blue side. The state is now victim to “the New York City syndrome” — the overwhelming numbers of lefties in the Denver metro area make it difficult for the conservative areas of the state to have an effective political voice.
My guess is that this time around, CO will turn out very close, but Obama’s still going to win it.
I also predict that in future elections, Colorado isn’t going to be worth spending much time or money on, if you’re a Republican candidate for president...
I’d be surprised if Romney takes CO. Your uncle is correct...it is very difficult for El Paso county and the rural areas to override Denver and some of the suburbs even with heavy turnout.
Pueblo is another solid democrat area but more of the welfare liberals whereas Denver would like to believe themselves to be the limousine liberals and Boulder, the academic liberals.
I believe one of the few things that keeps CO from sliding into another CA is our TABOR.
