From First Read:
"Clinton camp stops advertising in Colorado
Given all of the news here in Philadelphia, perhaps Monday's biggest news was about Colorado -- in the Clinton campaign's decision to pull down its TV ads there, because it feels confident enough about its standing versus Trump in that battleground state. The campaign, however, will continue to advertise in eight other states - Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. An NBC/WSJ/Marist poll before the conventions had Clinton ahead in Colorado by eight percentage points, 43%-35%".
Is this too confident or is Colorado turning bluer?...Would be like the NE Patriots pulling Tom Brady after a 10-0 lead at the end of the 1st quarter...

The decision could reflect increasing confidence about Clintons chances to capture Colorados nine electoral votes in the fall. But a Clinton campaign official, granted anonymity to discuss the campaign's internal operations, stressed the campaign's advertising strategy against Donald Trump will change constantly over the next three months.
Colorado was part of the Clinton campaigns initial, general election advertising campaign, which began in mid-June and cost at least $22 million. But Monday is the final day of that ad buy.
The Clinton campaign began placing another two weeks of reservations last week, beginning this Tuesday. But this time, it omitted Colorado from the list of target states. The campaign is set to air ads in Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. The buy is worth at least $7.7 million over the next two weeks.

The decision is not necessarily permanent.
