This is interesting. Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight compares the states across 19 variables and arrives at a political similarity score which can be used to forecast electoral behavior amongst the states.
Colorado's most similar states? Washington, Minnesota and Nevada. We are Alaska's most similar state, Virginia's 2nd most similar state, Utah and Washington's 3rd most similar.
Interesting stuff and I'm sure Nate will apply this data in an interesting manner, for now though go check out the criteria and the data.
