It actually has a huge border with Utah, doesn't it?

...and there you go...Romney took the northwest section of Colorado bordering Utah, along with the liberal cities. Curious that Santorum took the SW portion of Colorado bordering Utah...fewer Mormons?

I wouldn’t expect the rate of Mormons to be that much different anywhere along the border. Obviously, bigger cities will have more, but cross-state moves are common in every state in the union. I don’t see why Colorado would be any different.

In any case, Santorum won big despite any of the natural alliances that would have gone toward Romney.

Moreover, Colorado is a bell-weather state. In any electoral map that gives the northeast and the west coast to Obama, which is only being realistic, our candidate MUST be able to pull leaners like Colorado and Ohio into the red column.

This poor showing by Mitt says there simply is no excitement about him anyplace.
