Exactly 270 electoral votes are needed to win the presidency. And that win may well come down to Colorado — specifically, Jefferson and Arapahoe counties.
Colorado is the face of the new West and a new political power. Known for its picturesque mountains and ski resorts, it also is home to enormous energy resources — gas, oil, coal — as well as to aerospace-manufacturing and health-care businesses.
Jobs associated with the oil and gas boom are natural votes for Romney. And, although he lags behind with Colorado’s many Hispanic voters, interviews with young people across the state showed strong support for him.
Interview after interview here also revealed that Obama’s problem among Colorado Democrats who voted for him in 2008 is enthusiasm: About one-third will “probably still vote for him” (a line heard over and over), one-third will go for Romney and the final third will just stay home.

Yes we do and I was surprised that that wasn't even mentioned in the article; it seemed a little predisposed for calling Romney to win to me. But, only us liberal wackos lol in the minority believe, or care, that global warming will seriously hurt the state's skiing tourism industry and hurt our local economy further.

Because, I talked to some that were using crazy high poll numbers for obama and real clear politics had them much lower. Got laughed at but now real clear is being quoted by these same people. Personal anecdote. Don't get your feelings hurt, guys. Just keeping it real.
