Obama is part of "Washington, D.C."...

Obama works in DC and is part of Washington.  Again, CO Dem party is epic fail.

Obama is not carrying Colorado...end of story...

With the sour economy, I don't think so.  Unless you're an Obama sheep.

not once there's an actual nominee to put against him.

This isn't California or Illinois.

[DrScholl]

In 2010, Republicans didn't pick up the Senate seat, even if Buck was flawed, if the state wasn't purple he would have won and that's a big reason why Colorado is anywhere near a guaranteed Republican pickup in 2012.

Get back to us in 2020 on that

Enough with the 2010 senator Buck story.  Romney and Buck are not on the same league in the GOP.  Buck was a far right candidate, Romney is a Right of Center, no where near as extreme compared to Buck. CO is not guaranteed as a GOP pickup, but it is still a competitive state.  Stop assuming CO is going to vote for a failing POTUS.

By that time, California will be part of Mexico cause of it's failed policies of running the state into the ground. CO will be next if people keep electing California-lite candidates in it's congressional district and senate races.

[DrScholl]

I'll repeat, Democrats held on to the senate seat in 2010, that's reality. No one is saying it's not a competitive state, but it's not the same politically as it was a few cycles ago. No matter who the GOP nominates, Colorado is still winnable for the President.

Thank you captain obvious for reminding me of the senate seat in 2010, like I didn't know that.  Besides the point, Obama's chances are looking slimmer in the future.

CO is/would be competitive with Romney because he is just about the ideal Republican for the state.  With a Southern Evangelical nominee, CO would be off the table for the GOP.

Other than Hickenlooper and Bennet, didn't the Republicans sweep every other statewide race?

Actually its the exact opposite.  Obama does worst against a 'generic' ie. imaginary, republican.  One an actual candidate is pitted against him, he does much better.

[NHI]

What a joke.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

True. If Obama wasn't in DC, he'd become a lot more popular.

[Bull Moose Base]

New Reuters poll out today has Obama's approval at  47%, striking distance of a win while another poll this week had congress at 13%, its lowest mark ever.  (And that was measured before the GOP blocked debate on Obama's jobs bill).  So actually the guy's assessment sounds pretty realistic.

["'Oeps!' De blunders van Rick Perry Indicted"]

New Reuters poll out today has Obama's approval at  47%, striking distance of a win while another poll this week had congress at 13%, its lowest mark ever.

Reuters always has Obama three or four points higher than most polls.

OK but my point still stands that the Colorado candidate quoted here had a point.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Shhhh!!!! Don't disrupt his narrative with inconvenient facts, Miles.  

Also of the five statewide races, the winner with the best result was a Republican (AG Suthers at 56%).

The GOP's problems in the state was the result of poor organization and getting four bad candidates in two races (Norton and Weld in the Senate race, Maes and McInnis in the Governor's race) plus a fifth for good measure as an American Constitution party candidate, Tom Tancredo. The last one will ensure problems for some time, because now the ACP has ballot access to siphon off conservative votes.

Which district is this guy in? If it isn't the First, Second, or Seventh, he is certainly running in a district that isn't pleased with Obama. And Romney is just the right sort of candidate to reverse somewhat the murderous gains Obama made in Seventh. I'd also expect him to outperform slighlty in Grand Junction and the counties along the UT border. Of course the new map is still a question mark.

I don't know man, but the way the new congressional maps are made from what I read, not a big fan of them.  The Colorado Supreme court says it's competitive but it always benefits the Democrats in the long run.  They say one thing, mean another.

Don't like how the local government is ran.
