NV now has a GOP legislature and in CO the Senate is now under GOP control.
In VA, Democratic Sen. Mark Warner barely beat an underfunded GOP candidate.
So things are looking brighter for 2016.
2012 margin of victory by Bambi
1.Colorado, 5.37%
2.Pennsylvania, 5.39%
3.New Hampshire, 5.58%
4.Iowa, 5.81%
5.Nevada, 6.68%
6.Wisconsin, 6.94%
Ryan helped WISC, so that is now inaccurate ... did Mormonism help Romney in NV?
FL VA OH all appear to be more in the GOP camp. If CO is ever forever lost, we are cooked.
I also tried to review the use of Palin in fall 2008. She went immediately to CO. Grand Junction, Greeley, Col SPrings, Loveland. Golden. All the right places.

Then did they get distracted by the national interviews with Couric, etc.? And the hockey game in Philly?
The Palin effort to bring out the rural and Christian base ... seemed to lose steam in CO. Did they quit on it?
