If the PPP crosstabs of CO are correct, he has to win the state

[Hawaii Hiker]

If this paragraph is true, with leads among women, indepedents, Hispanics, and very competitive with white voters, CO should be blue around 10pm. Tues...From PPP today:


"In Colorado Obama is winning thanks to a huge advantage among independent voters, 59/34. He's down 57/41 among seniors but leads 58/39 among voters under 45, a huge generational split that suggests the state may be voting Democratic for a long time to come. Obama's actually running slightly ahead with white voters (50/49) and when you combine that with his big advantage among Hispanics it fuels his overall 6 point lead".

1. I think CO is close

but I'm not worried about it, since Obama will likely take Ohio and Virginia based on the past week of polling.

2. Based on the numbers

Based on the numbers in this thread it does not appear to be all that close.

3. Not too long ago, I looked at some other CO polls

and saw Obama leading independents in CO. That's why Obama has a decent shot because GOP have the higher registration numbers.

4. What is the deal with seniors?

Are they believing the propaganda? Dang, they are voting against their own interests.

6. At local coffee shops, seniors drink the anti-Obama poison.

It's bad. Heck, they got kicked out of the local Burger King for making racist remarks against a Hispanic employee. Then the seniors wrote a LTTE complaining and forgot to mention that "little" fact.

7. They watch Fox and they still think there is real news on TV, my dear old dad is one.

Fortunately my mom cancels out his vote every time because she gets her info online.

A lot of old people still think the Republicans are sane because they don't realize the sane ones have been driven out of the party.

5. Would be great especially ...

Winning Colorado would be great -- especially 1) if the president has already won the election (a nice ending to a close campaign race) and 2) if other states like Ohio or Virginia or NH are too close to call.
