This year's presidential election may be decided in a handful of so-called "swing states," where President Obama and challenger Mitt Romney are running neck and neck in public opinion polls. The western state of Colorado has only nine electoral votes, which will all go to the candidate who wins a majority of the state's popular votes in November. And as VOA's Greg Flakus reports from the state capital of Denver, Colorado is one of the few states that could go either way, so it is being hotly contested.
