"Colorado remains big prize as Romney, Obama hold Campaign rallies"

Washington Post has claimed that the "Rocky Mountain West" is becoming an important area to be looking at this fall before the election. In the past, this area has been a big spot for Republican support but in this race, Democrats have been vying for the support of the West.
The day after the last debate Romney spent a lot of time flying to appearences in the West including Las Vegas and his final appreance in Denver. Denver is the most competitive spot and the Republicans need a win there to help beat the Democrats.
The West is a new place for high competition. It was just four years ago that it became a hot spot. This year it hasn't seen much action because a lot of the competition has been in the mid-west (Ohio, Iowa, and Wisconsin). Candidates are now looking at the West closely because it may change the outcome for the Presidential race and Washinton Post claims that it also poses the question of how changing demographics are changing politics in America.
Do you think that demographics play a role in politics?
Is it a smart decision for the candidates to focus their energy on the West rather than the midwest?
What is the best course of action for the candidates now?

The West has recently become a big place for swing states. Colorado is a very interesting and split place politically. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
