They have a nice campus, but with the area being rather expensive I think I'll stick with CSU for now.

The University of Colorado (CU) prediction renowned for perfect accuracy will predict a popular-vote win for Mitt Romney later this month, Campus Reform has learned.

The poll has accurately predicted every presidential election since it was developed in 1980. It is unique in that it employs factors outside of state economic indicators to predict the next president.

CU Political Science Professor Dr. Michael Berry, who spoke with Campus Reform at length on Tuesday, said there is at least 77 percent chance that Romney will win the popular vote.




The Colorado model has had such accuracy over the years, these results have received no criticism from academic peers, according to Berry.
Good for Romney if he does win the popular vote, we don't elect presidents that way, just ask Al Gore.
Romney came in second place, that makes him the first loser.
