Perhaps the next Colorado polling data could potentially be more interesting than the data released today. If CO's voters approve a scheme to allow sharing of electoral votes, CO could prove to be a major player in November. Nice to know that PA is still in play. If Kerry loses PA, Bush could potentially win in a relative electoral landslide.

Contrary argument: which, if any, are solid Red, solid Blue, and toss-up Congressional Districts in Colorado?

There are six CDs, I think there's one which is a toss-up, but for argument's sake, lets make it two.

That would mean instead of trying for six Electoral College votes, you're shooting for an additional two (you already have two solid Republican, and two are solid Dem).

That makes it less likely CO would be a major player: the payoff is two more EC votes, not six under the winner-take-all.
