Lets look at the PVIs in the last for elections, shall we?
CO-
1996- R +4
2000- R+ 4 (mainly due to the massive spoiling caused there)
2004- R +1
2008- D +1
I would say that a D +3 would be a reasonable outcome for CO in 2012.
PA?
1996- Even Clinton underperformed by a few Tenths of a percent, but so did Dole (Perot got like a percent hight)
2000- D+2
2004- D +3
2008- D +1
So, I guess Pennsylvania is kinda bouncing around but since the Tea Party won there in 2010 and lost in Colorado, I am going to say that Pennsylvania is probably trending R as fast as Colorado is trending D....perhaps a PVI point a midterm. ...though I doubt Pennsylvania will move past the tipping point. - I would say that PA will be between R+1 and D+1 this year.
I'm saying Pennsylvania. Colorado will be perhaps Obama's 266th EV and Pennsylvania will be Romney's 272nd.
