16. We are a bellwether state. 9 EV's at risk
It could be decided right here in the state of Colorado. We're deep purplish, trending blue. Obama could carry Colorado.

McCain has no chance here. If Hillary wins the nomination unexpectedly, then it will also be McCain's state to carry if Hillary is on the top of the ticket.

Last time we went blue was in '92, but since then we've elected a couple of Democrats, and we have a big race here to take another U.S. Senate seat - Downticket Democrats are important!!1
