2. Wow! That is an amazing op ed

I don't know if I have read a more cogent argument for Obama and against Romney.

In praise of President Obama:

"Therefore, our endorsement must go to the incumbent, a competent leader who, against tough odds, has guided the country through catastrophe and set a course that, while rocky, is pointing toward a brighter day. The president has earned a second term. Romney, in whatever guise, does not deserve a first."

This is brilliant stuff.

Does anybody know the history of the Salt Lake Tribune? Do they generally endorse Dem or Rep candidates?
(I suppose I could Google that )

4. isn't Salt Lake where many of the few libs in Utah live?

5. Yes, Salt Lake contains practically all the liberals in Utah. A few live in Ogden.

Salt Lake has many federal offices and some business centers which draw out of staters. Ogden has some businesses and transportation centers.

Salt Lake sometimes manages to have a Democratic mayor.

The Tribune is the liberal leaning paper, the Deseret News is the Mormon voice.

While I was attending the U of U, I met a few students who had never (previous to going to college) met a non-Mormon. Strange place.
