Barack Obama's Victory in Colorado

I am not surprised at all at Obama's win in the state of Colorado. I haven't lived here long (I lived in San Diego, CA all my life) but I have already become familiar with the liberal ideas of the area. To summarize, it is a ... peaceful, "outdoorsy" (and environmental) place, for the most part. For the Democratic party, Obama seems much more "peaceful" as a representative. While I personally would lean toward Clinton, as she is more straightforward and realistic in my eyes, Obama has a certain aspect to his politics that aims for a country of peace. No judging, no poverty, no war, no weapons. He makes these ideas quite clear and talks about our future a lot. While Colorado is a recent developing state, improving rapidly in environmentalism and attractiveness (as a home), I can certainly understand why the majority of citizens would choose the more "futuristic" and "hopeful" candidate.
