If businessman Coors has a good night on Nov. 6, so will Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, likely not only in Colorado but nationwide.
Colorado is looking like a state that is the national average, perhaps a tick or two rightward, according to Sean Trende, a savvy number-cruncher and Yale-trained political scientist for the website RealClearPolitics.
So if Romney is winning Colorado, it probably means he is headed for a decent night, Trende said of the relatively new electoral trend of a Western state signaling a presidential win.
If Romney wins here comfortably, that probably means a national win on the scale of George Bush in 2004, or even Obama in 2008, Trende said.
Right now, he said, Colorados numbers look pretty good for Romney: We have him up a half-point in the RCP Average, with the president down to about 47 percent of the vote. Thats not a great position for the president to be in.

I am very nervous if our fate is left to that hot bed of liberalism.
Coors seems to be well ahead of the RAT in the House race. Romney seems to have put some distance between himself and zero in CO in the last week or so.
By the way, on this day in 2008, Obama was up 8.2% in the RCP average. Romney now up by 1.4%.
Colorado will elect Romney as long as we stay on the march to Get Out The Vote.
I’m not sure whether Joe Coors has been fighting hard enough to win his seat.
These “one-state” scenarios are foolish. We either roll over this obastard with a tidal wave of disapproval, or we do not.
I don’t know about anyone else here, but in my neck of the woods, in my family, and me personally, there is a roiling, boiling, unbridled sense of seething anger that can only be assuaged by ousting his ass from that office - permanently!
He is a stain on that office, an affront to everything good and decent about this country, and a traitor that would like nothing more than to devolve this country to third or fourth-world status, so that he can play king-who-golfs and control lives he was never meant to.
That’s is good news about Coors.
If realize this is California, however I know several people who very excited about obama - you know hope and change, black guy and all.
The will never vote for him again but don’t like or trust Romney, so they are all voting for the libertarian candidate.
I suspect, that may be the case in many states.
I can see no reason why Romney wont win Colorado, the are huge conservative/Republican enclaves in the state as well as a high mormon population, who tend to be centered south of Denver.
The Pueblo Chieftan newspaper just endorsed Romney.
Yep - lack of Dim enthusiasm, coupled with a more fired up Right, should spell doom for Zero. The Dims will probably not be able to lure as many voters with bottles of MD-20/20 this time around - they'll have to whip them onto the buses.
Sometimes they're not, as in 2000, when Florida decided the election. However, barring some sort of last-minute October or November surprise, this election is beginning to look like a blowout win for Romney.
I understand that. They are only operative when the Democrats home in on the ones they think they can upset the contest. Publicizing the possiblility of such even before the election only makes their work easier.
I did not know that, it’s positive news.
Our Santa Barbara Newspress endorsed Romney, and Republicans straight down the ticket, which surprised me.
Some family in Colorado Springs, said the support for Romney is huge.
Sisters in Aurora, and Castle Rock said they have seen no obama support.
My daughters live in Highlands Ranch and Centennial, big mormon area, so the support is very upbeat.
Wonder how the Denver Post will fall (ok I laughed when I wrote that)
..nonsense, except for Romney showing up drunk at the next debate, this thing is over...
Just being CLOSE in these blue states (WI, PA, MI, etc.,) tells me that something is up.
Very well said.
What? Hotbed of liberalism? Colorado has been a red state up until the last 2 elections. Denver may be liberal and boulder and Fort Collins but the rest is pretty conservative. We also have a large oil and gas industry and Obama has not been kind to that industry. And Colorado springs is very conservative.
mitts path to 270 is opening up so many ways that it is more likely to be a blow out and zero will have difficulty breaking 200
A Mitt Happens win here will depends on massive GOP turnaround in Colorado Springs - the second largest - and most conservative city in the state.
I think he and Joe Coors will have a good night here.
