Very strange... second time I've seen this guy's name in two hours. First a text message from my sister-in-law in (you guessed it) Utah, and for a second time here.
- cookiecaper 10y agoHe is taking Utah by storm. Small but legit possibility that he wins the state. More likely, he will be the reason that Utah goes blue for the first time in a half-century, by splitting the conservative majority into two 35% camps (with Johnson siphoning off the remainder), making Clinton competitive with ~35% in what has been considered the most reliably red state in the Union for the last 50 years. This election is turning everything upside down.
- noobermin 10y agoThat isn't really "going blue" though, that's more like going red in three directions with the blue part having the largest fraction less than 50%. I guess you could define that as "going blue" but "blue winning" makes more sense.
- ci5er 10y agoAnd, it wasn't "going blue" when the Republican primary just had the same thing effectively happen, but I don't have a phrase for that either. It's been a strange year...
- swsieber 10y agoAs explained in the article, there's not many places you could vote for him outside of Utah and still have him win. So of course he is strong in Utah.
