@ConArtCritic Fair points, both. But I think NH is fundamentally a more evenly balanced state than CO or MI, both of which are pretty blue
— Reid Wilson (@PostReid) April 9, 2014Is Colorado fundamentally more blue than NH?

| Governor | D | D |
| Lt. Governor | D | N/A |
| Secretary of State | R | D |
| Treasurer | R | D |
| Attorney General | R | D |
| Executive Council | N/A | D |
| US Senate (1) | D | D |
| US Senate (2) | D | R |
| US House | R+1 | D+2 |
| State House | D+9 | D+42 |
| State Sen | D+1** | R+2 |
** Democratic control saved by Evie Hudak resigning rather than facing recall, allowing Democrats to appoint a replacement.
NH went for Kerry in 2004 while CO went for Bush. Granted, Kerry was from nearby MA.
All in all, the GOP has had a rough time in both states since the start of the 2000s, but to my eyes NH has been behaving more like a blue state of late than Colorado has.
MI, on the other hand, has been as blue or bluer than either for quite a while.
