In reply to the discussion: Colorado early voting: a chink in the OFA GOTV armor [View all]meadowlark5
(2,795 posts)39. Here is an article about the 2008 election in Colo and it does say without Denver and Boulder county
Obama would have lost by 6500 votes. There are actually more blue dots on that map than I remember, but this state isn't as dem leaning as people think. Like I said, 2008 going blue for president was a first in many years. The plus, however, is we do have an increased Latino population and many of them have registered to vote this time. If we get a good turn out, we might be able to turn Colorado blue again!

It's winnable for sure, but for whatever reason we don't have a GOTV edge.
