The party of Goldwater??? hhaa he didn't even win in utah. this is probably the ONLY state where someone would still be in mourning about that though.
the poll might as well have said most people in utah
like green jello and ice cream.

Hillary

HIllary would be bad for everyone!

Enough of this foolishness

Utah has more dodgers for the United States Army and Marines
They all want to be cops
This is Utah.
Utah is a poor State
Low wages, 2 and 3 jobs each
This resession will put you people in the rears
Your R President is what has caused this and the killing of many innocent people here and abroad
I don't know 1 Utah'n that does not think.
The Just know stuff that has no truth to it.
Sheep without a mind

As if it mattered

Better pole would involve Huckabee --- I think that Utah would be a blue state it Huckabee was involved.

So what

So they polled Republicans in Utah and they said they like Romney and don't like Hillary. This is earth shattering news. I'm sure it will have a huge impact on both candidates VP selections and in the general election as well.

McCain as Commander in chief? Why would any SANE person want 4 more years of the Bush fiasco and with Romney it would be worse.

Everybody read "When Salt Lake City Calls" which will open your eyes why Utah should not have a say in the electioon

McCain and Olympics

How easily people forget how much hatred there is between McCain and Mitt -- McCain opposed all the earmarks our good Utah senators sent to SLC for Mitt's Olympics, and this animosity was widely reported throughout the primaries. While the two appear to have made up, I think there may be too much mistrust and differences between the two for a ticket. Mitt opposes wind power in Massachusetts and fuel efficiency standards for cars, which flies in the face of McCain's global warming goals and contradictory energy policies (cut CO2 emissions but expand oil drilling that McCain advocates -- at least Mitt is consistent with his views on his faith in more oil). Bottom line is that Mitt will appeal to conservatives, but Mitt will handicap McCain with independents who will not like Mitt's anti-progressive views on energy.

Question

Who is getting polled?

Master of the Obvious

Sock monkey Republicans in Utah will give the state's electoral votes to Insane McCain, and work like orcs in GOP call centers on behalf of their fascist cause, no matter which candidate McWar picks for VP.

Bubba

Who paid for this poll?

What a waste of money...

Who Cares

The poll is meaningless outside of Utah because Utahns are so out of touch with the rest of the country.

Coug in Mass

Foolishness?

Does the military comment include the high-profile 222nd?

Doesn't Utah lead in per-capita computer ownership?

Doesn't Utah lead with the highest percentage of high school seniors going to college?

Doesn't Utah have the highest percentage of passport holders?

Doesn't the BYU football team speak in the range of 20-something languages?

The sheep that you are surrounded by have more passports, computers, college degrees, and language skills than wherever you came from. Even the U of Utah grads are pretty smart (requisite U bashing in anticipation of the fall).

The poll is rather useless. Of course Utah likes Romney. The problem is that the southerners don't.

FLEXX

Romney is A HYPOCRITE, i would not give him 2 cents to save my own life! HILLARY is immensely popular & is strong! who runs these polls anyway? let me guess the republicans!...hahaha

I would not be surprised if McCain selects Mike Huckabee, since the Evangelicals have voice in the Republican Party.

What about Ron Paul? He has such an adherence to constitutional principles renowned as Dr No. I feel that would unite Americans on so many levels. Now that would be change! Obama has taught Constitutional Law, if he is a true patriot wouldn't bridging the gap across party lines be a major move for unity in America. I can't think of a better campaign slogan my self. For a Lawyer and a Doctor. We will need legal advice to restore the US Constitution and a Dr to administer the healing so the that the masses reap the health. Not just at home but globally I feel that this team could be a phenomenon for the world.

Gee, I wonder if Utah would vote for the mormon church, I guess we need a poll to find out.

Yawn

How can this story really be the top story (online) on Sunday? What a waste.

NEWS?

Do you people and this paper really think the rest of the nation cares about your preferences? Of course they don't and never will as long as you have this follow the leader mentality. Just look at the mess this country is in, led by a lying republican administration for 8 years and would anyone that knows ANYTHING about politics elect another republican? Only in good old Utah--yes yes. I have stated for months to please throw the incumbents out--ALL OF THEM. Now is the time to start a good house cleaning and rid ourselves of the rotten mess called politics. Vote people vote.
