Romney's group of supporters in Colorado is basically shored up, they're not going to vote for Obama or any leftist for the most part.

Obama should win Colorado by 5 points handedly. I expect it will go down like 2008, lots more latino voters, and the MMJ legalization should spur a lot of youth to come out and vote.

Johnson will not get more votes than Nader in 2008. (.5%)
