IIRC, adjusted for likely voters, the average poll has Obama leading Romney 1.4 points in Colorado and 1.6 points nationwide.

In short, we can expect Colorado to generally follow the nationwide popular vote. Bellwether state?
Probably...

The last time a Democrat president lost and took Colorado was 1908 with William Bryan against Republican William Taft.  There's a slim chance that will happen again.  If Romney wins the presidency, he'll win CO. If Obama is reelected, he takes CO.

Colorado is not the state it was in the 20th century, it has changed dramatically. Its probably positioned 25th/50 most democratic state 20 years ago it was maybe 35th. It will go up and up over the next few decades before it will be a safe democrat seat.

I seriously doubt your way of thinking, but whatever floats your boat.  There aren't alot of Liberals flocking here or Hispanics when unemployment is 8.3%. CO has higher unaffliated voters than Democrats or Republicans. The trends will reverse slightly this election cycle.
