I live in Colorado. With the exception of Clinton in '92 Colorado has been red since either '64 or '68, I don't remember off the top of my head. The polls are showing Obama starting to inch ahead here though.

I used to vote Republican exclusively. I voted for Bush in '00. I've been really dissatisfied with the way Republicans have gone about their business. Campaigns based on least common denominator fear mongering. Massive expansion of government and huge deficits under Republican control. I voted for Badnarik in '04, and have gravitated towards the Libertarian party in recent years. I am still registered as a Republican so I can participate in caucuses and primaries and try to influence getting a decent Republican candidate for the general election. I'm not thrilled with Bob Barr, I don't think he is a "real" Libertarian, but I think he is better than McCain.
