Washington Post's "The Fix" on the Electoral Map

This week’s Friday Line was on the states most likely to switch parties in the 2008 presidential election compared to 2004.  CO is number 4.

4. Colorado (Bush, 52 percent): Democratic and Republican operatives seem to agree that the Rocky Mountain State is a golden (pun intended) opportunity for Obama. Democrats have scored across-the-board gains (two House seats, a Senate seat and the governor’s mansion) over the last few elections and staging the Democratic National Convention in Denver is sure to further fire up the party’s base for the fall. (Previous ranking: 7)

I think it’s interesting that Chris Cillizza thinks that Nevada is more likely to switch than CO, I would have put Nevada much further back on the list behind CO at least but alas I am not paid for my thoughts on this for a reason!

What does everyone else think?
