The sky is falling!

1. why do they have a margin of error??....

923, that's basically the entire backward population of Utah.

2. We must keep Nader off the ballot in Utah

His 3% might cost Kerry the state.

[lovedems]

3. I feel sorry for you Utah DUers.

Only 30% of your population have brains.

[Doosh]

4. Utah should be dropped as a state

I say cut them out of the union, the Canadian province of Alberta can be our 50th state

[Thrill]

5. 70% approve????

UNREAL

6. How about Iraq?

Since we're not leaving Iraq anytime soon, why not grant it statehood?

Congress would be livened up a bit - we'd have 210 Republicans, 200 Democrats, and 25 Ba'athists.

8. You for got Texass also. Texans killed Kennedy, gave us Johnson and more

'Nam, Tom Delay, Bush one and II, Jeb. Any body I miss? I say cut these MFers loose!

[mobuto]

9. Gave us Johnson?

The first two years of the LBJ Presidency were the best two years of any Presidency in history. Better than FDR, better than Kennedy, better than anybody.

In those two years, LBJ gave us the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act, Medicare, Medicaid Food Stamps, TANF, began the War on Poverty, etc. Vietnam was obviously the great overriding issue, and I think he would have been the first to admit it - those who worked closely with him in 1967 and 1968 report his profound sense of guilt for what he had done, and most biographers believe it drove him to drink, depression and an early grave. But the rest of his record is amazing. If I were from Texas, I would be proud to be from the state that produced Lyndon Johnson.

7. is only Faux and Rush allowed there? That is crazy.

[gristy]

10. That poll is virtually unchanged from the 2000 election results in UT

http://www.fec.gov/pubrec/2000presgeresults.htm

bush: 515,096 (67%)
gore: 203,053 (26%)
other: 51,655 (7%)

[Catch22Dem]

11. We make up for it with DC

Where Kerry leads Bush something like 82% - 11% or something like that.

[mobuto]

12. That's suprisingly strong for Bush

We may have to set up a get-out-the-vote effort. Something's seriously wrong if Bush breaks 8%.

[JI7]

13. probably the lobbyists

who benefit from bush's policies that make up that percent.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

14. The "Theocratic Autocratic State of Utah" is hardly America.

They really should be embarrased with the Shrub. That's one state I will NEVER see.
