Ilsaz, I agree with your comments. Our "county vs. county" discussion should not be interpreted to represent a GOTV strategy or anything like that. It's just a way of breaking down big numbers into smaller components and, through the cancelling-out method for counties that usually vote in a predictable manner, identify the counties where the "swing" often occurs. But you're right, it is a statewide total and the Dem votes in El Paso are still important to pursue.

Gio, you're right on with your comment about Pueblo. If we want Pueblo to stay blue, we should hope that the 150,000 people that Eeyore wants to move there moves into condos and lofts and infill projects in the existing footprint of the city. Pueblo Springs will simply be a big chunk of COS that will cancel out Pueblo's bluer half.
