You may have heard that Barack Obama won Salt Lake County. He did not. Obama did carry two of Utah's counties...Summit and Grand. The counties that people from other states have settled...or the counties in Utah that have been "californicated."
Salt Lake County, even in the height of Reagn popularity was a stronghold for the Democratic Party. That county is not a Democratic as it used to be. Carbon and Emery counties are also not as democratic as they used to be. The GSENM controversy cost the donkies in that part of the state.
Here in Utah, we had a record voter turn-out, and unless your name is Matheson or Curtis or you are on the SL county council, it was good to be a Republican. But there are storm clouds on the horizon, and some long-held GOP seats are in danger.
More on that later.
