Hilary would win this state against even the fat man.  Remember, folks, Colorado always polls much more R than it actually votes.
That's not true.

It's been like that in recent presidential elections.

Because she's just not as good of a candidate.

Remember, Obama beat Hillary in the 2008 primary.

There is definitely something weird going on with Hillary and CO. It is polling almost the same as MS. Did Hillary say something about how the Broncos suck?

Really? I'll take outperforming Obama in 49 states and losing Colorado.

There really isn't any state she would flip that Obama didn't win.  Doing a bit better in the ultra benighted South isn't any help.

Hell, even if she wins all the Gore/Kerry states and does as well as their best numbers in the South (45% in West Virginia and 46% in Tennessee and 47% in Missouri) WITH Ohio, she still loses (provided she loses Iowa, which is as bad as CO right now and the house stays R)....even if she is at 48-49% in VA,FL and NC. If Democrats simply focus on the West Coast and consolidating the Northeast+Florida, they lose.

It's 269-269 if Nevada goes R.  But if it goes D, as in the above map, it's 275-263 Dem win.

and imagine what it will be like after the 2020 reapportionment. I am guessing if a R wins in 2016, he will be heavily favored in 2020.

For example, one said they would vote for McCain if Hillary won in 2008 because they don't like dynasties. Things of that nature. Something about not being taking for granted.

Well, Hillary Clinton is a very establishment candidate.  She's a Washington insider, she has a lot of experience, she voted with the Republicans on foreign policy a lot of times, and her ideology as a whole is built around left-populism.  Contrast this to Barack Obama, who was fresh in the political scene at the time he first ran for president and represented a much younger generation of Democrats.  I don't have any statistics to back me up at the moment, but I'd assume that Colorado's Democratic base tends to be younger and ergo favorable to younger candidates.  (Colorado is also a more diverse state than say, Arkansas, so minority Democrats will tend to favor minority candidates.)  If Hillary underperforms with young voters, which I assume she will if she's the nominee, that will cost her states like Colorado where the base simply won't be there for her like they were for Obama.  Those losses could be made up for in states like Arkansas, whose Democratic base tends to be older, whiter, and not surprisingly, very favorable to the Clintons.

Also keep in mind that Colorado has better known universities than Arkansas.  Ergo, younger Democratic voters.

Another way of looking at it is seeing the US as not a collection of red states and blue states, but "libertarian" states and "populist" states.  It's a shoddy way of looking at things, sure, but the lesson from this is that older "white working class" voters tend to favor populist-based establishment candidates, and other states tend to be more supportive of newcomers.

That is, at least, my interpretation of things.  Ask me why Obama carried a rural, heavily white state like Nebraska over Hillary by such a huge margin and I couldn't tell you.  The key to winning a state is empowering the state's base and that should be enough to understand.

Clinton won because southeast NH (the most populous, urban part of the state) strongly favored her.  Obama did better in rural NH.

I think this speech may have had a slight impact too, but I'm not sure.  I do know that the NH primary was very close (less than 3% decided it), so it wasn't exactly "made" for either candidate.

But like I said, I can't explain why every state voted the way it did.  Colorado and Arkansas are pretty easy to explain, but many of the primary states were very competitive.

Although I seriously doubt Hillary will be able to actively campaign in Arkansas or have to punt on Colorado.

Christie is the furthest from a libertarian you can get, he's your typical Big Government type Republican. Just look at how he reacted to the whole medical marijuana issue that wouldn't play well in Colorado at all. Hillary would be wise to get in the front of the marijuana issue and support either medical marijuana or full legalization.

Not really.  By 2020 Florida and Colorado will be very hard for a GOPer to win.

2020 reapportionment of course won't happen by the 2020 election.  2024 would be the first presidential election using the 2020 census numbers.
