PolitickerCO.com asked some Colorado political figures and pundits to predict who will win on Election Day. Here's what they said:

John Straayer, political science professor at Colorado State University:

President: Barack Obama (D) 52 percent; John McCain (R) 48 percent

U.S. Senate: Mark Udall (D) 54 percent; Bob Schaffer (R) 46 percent

Fourth Congressional District: Betsy Markey (D) 50.5 percent; Marilyn Musgrave (R) 49.5 percent

Bob Loevy, political science professor at Colorado College:

Obama 54 percent; McCain 46 percent 

Udall 56 percent; Schaffer 44 percent

Former U.S. Rep. Bob Beauprez (R-Arvada) is targeting Catholic voters in Colorado with robocalls aimed at Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Mark Udall and 4th Congressional District Democratic nominee Betsy Markey.

In the calls, Beauprez talks in a prerecorded message about the "five non-negotiables" of Catholic doctrine -- opposition to abortion, euthanasia, gay marriage, embryonic stem-cell research and human cloning.

Beauprez then lauds the Republican candidate -- U.S. Senate nominee Bob Schaffer or U.S. Rep. Marilyn Musgrave (R-Fort Morgan), depending on the call -- and says their opponent is on the wrong side of each of those issues.

The calls are being paid for by a new group led by Beauprez called Informed Catholic Citizens.
