"Colorado didn't play the key role in Barack Obama's election victory that many though it would. Ohio, Virginia and Florida decided the race long before the voters of Colorado had their say. But have their say they did. Obama gained 52% of the vote to John McCain's 45%. And we lost conservative Colorado representatives in the U.S. Senate and House. For one more election cycle, the Blue State trend in federal races has continued in our state.
But Colorado remains a strong, free-market state, and we proved it on the ballot this year."
