Colorado

Outlook: Toss Up

9 Electoral Votes (9 in 2000)
Bush won in 2004 by 4.67%

Colorado has progressively purpled over the last few years, as Democrats gained one Senate seat in 2004 and have a shot of grabbing the other this November, while a majority of the state's seven congressional districts are also Blue. On top of all this, the governorship and both chambers of the state Assembly are controlled by Democrats. Though George W. Bush won the Rocky Mountain State in both 2000 and 2004, the victory margin was nearly halved the second time around. In 2008, Colorado's nine electoral votes will be heavily targeted by both sides.
