re: Rand Paul is the Person to Beat in Colorado

No significant change in that Quinnipiac poll from prior ones.
April: Rand 48 Clinton 43
January: Rand 47 Clinton 43
November: Rand 47 Clinton 44
More surprising to me is that Hillary gets her lowest number vs. Christie, with whom she is tied at 42%, and that a guy like Huckabee only trails her by one point at 45-44.
Remember, Rick Santorum won the popular vote in Colorado in the 2012 race for the GOP nomination, and Romney easily won in 2008. It's a caucus state, so many casual voters tend to stay home. Have to get them off the couch and down to the precinct for a few hours. Many Romney voters stayed home because he was the favorite to win again in 2012. Paul supporters can't make the same mistake in 2016 if he's leading the polls there.
Bottom line, still way, way, way too early to project the outcome in Colorado in 2016, as it is in all of the swing states.

If Paul wins the GOP will come around rather quickly.
I think he'll be fine if he can survive the media gauntlet. He needs Christie to get back into it and be a lightning rod.

Still say neither Paul nor Cruz will get a vote in the Northeast.
Rand would put New Hampshire in play. I honestly think his minority outreach, personal liberty and fiscal conservative approach would be very attractive to those in the NE. From what I've gathered from talking to people from up there, they will agree on many economic issues with conservatives but they are turned off by the GOP due to being anti weed, anti gay, and isolated from minorities. Rand solves this.
I do agree on Cruz...he would do horrible in the NE. He needs to just stay in Congress
