(The information is from the Denver Post, where the link can be found in the above article)

Colorado 1,150,698 early votes cast

Republican: 439,269 (38.2%) Democrat: 404,870 (35.2%) Indep./Other 295,122 (25.7%)

Sorry if posted somewhere already. Freerepublic has been very wonky to me and it's increasingly difficult to utilize the search function.

To the nitty gritty:

2008 2,148,036 total votes cast

Of these, 1,704,280 , or 79.3% were cast early. Early Votes D 37.7% (642,513) R 35.9% (611,836) Ind/other 26.4% (449,929)

2008 Overall Results D 1,216,793 (53.5%) R 1,020,135 (44.9%)

2012 Early Voting D 404,870 (35.2%) R 439,269 (38.2%) Ind./Other 295,112 (25.6%)

So in a nutshell, Republicans are well ahead of where they were in 2008. Statistically, Obama has already lost Colorado. Assuming all R's vote R's, and all D's vote D, Obama would need to win the Independent vote by more than 8%. There isn't a credible poll out there that shows an Obama lead in independents.

And to put it in perspective, the blogger idiot over at the NY Times still has Obama winning Colorado by almost 2 to 1 odds, and winning Colorado by 6 points.

I guess he’ll “readjust” his thinking when he sees actual votes, and not “hopeful” votes.

This data is as rock solid for Romney as anyone could ever ask.
