Workman spoiling the party

Her troubles are all political attacks. The Democrats are out to get her. She is a scapegoat. The litany of excuses goes on and on. Last week, when radio newsman Doug Fabrizio asked Workman about her insinuations that even some Republicans are on District Attorney Dave Yocom's posse, she responded by storming out of the studio. The Utah media was astounded. Not that a politician would walk out of an interview, but that it would be an interview with Doug Fabrizio, a nice man about as combative as Gandhi.
Meanwhile, the election draws ever nearer, like a precipice for all county Republcians, who like it or not live in the house Workman has set afire.
With six of the county's incumbent Republicans up for re-election on Nov. 2, counting Workman, and zero incumbent Democrats, there's a lot less to gain than there is to lose.
