The election yesterday will hopefully be a portent of things to come in ways Republicans can't imagine. Three Republican County Commissioners, two Republican house members and a long-termed Republican Congressman all went down to defeat. Admittedly, Chaffetz isn't the brightest star in the galaxy, in fact, after watching him debate Chris Cannon, I've concluded he's barely a meteor. But voters were restless and ready for change. The question will be in Utah, does that desire for change include voting for more Democrats and restoring accountability to our government? At this point, I don't know. Chaffetz postured himself as a more pure right-wing ideologue, and that message resonated with the Republicans who vote in that district. So Chris Cannon isn't conservative enough for that district? If that is the case, the collective lobotomy of the people of that district is likely irreparable. However, I'm still holding out hope, that the people of Utah, and the people of this country are hungry for appropriate changes, which includes electing more Democrats.
I guess we'll see in November.

I think we all just want something different. Politics as usual just isn't going to cut it this year. I think most Utahn's still need some work done on them to realize that the Democratic party isn't they great Satan they think it is. In that respect, maybe keeping a couple of republican officials around to further screw things up might be helpful.
Maybe you are right, maybe I need a bumpersticker, "Buttars is the answer."
ROTFLOL!! It might then be interesting to see how many people honk and give you a big thumbs up...
