...Obama is still drawing more people than Romney and he doesn't need Kid Rock to do so.

Once Obama country, Colorado now razor-close : Madisondotcom

Four years ago, Barack Obama used this state as both a stage for his nominating convention and a place to show how his new brand of politics could unite young voters, women and minorities to create a winning coalition even in places that normally back Republican presidential candidates.

Now Colorado has become an example of how hard it has been for him to maintain that coalition against the headwinds of a sour economy and his own disastrous first debate performance in Denver.

"He should be doing better and he isn't," said independent pollster Floyd Ciruli, a former chairman of the state Democratic Party. "It's the worst (swing) state of the bunch for him; isn't that amazing? It's the place we thought he could use as a model."

Republicans contend that the Obama campaign's attempt to paint Romney as an extremist melted away after voters watched him in the first debate, which was widely viewed in Colorado. "That narrative came crashing into reality when they saw that guy up on the debate stage in Denver seeming rational and reasonable," said Ryan Call, chairman of the state Republican Party.

"If there's an enthusiasm gap on the Boulder campus, where I am, that's the canary in the coal mine," Bickers said, adding that he believes Hispanics, who are 21 percent of the population here, may not turn out at the same clip as they did four years ago.
