    CMBF and Dick Morris. I wanted to believe.

    Matt Drudge appears to be filling that role this year.

      Got my mail in ballot today. I'm really disappointed there isn't a write-in sport for the US Senate. I was going to write in Mickey Mouse for the first time.

      I'm going to vote for McMullin at this point since it looks like he'll have the best shot at taking down Trump in the state. I would have voted for Hillary had she had the best shot.

        Yeah, Gallup and I were saying the same thing. The evangelicals didn't come out for Romney and his ground game was a disaster. Obama became the first president since Wilson to win re-election with a smaller percentage of the vote.

        This year's a whole nuther ball of wax.
        Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

          Utah: America’s new political conscience as Never Trumpland

          They look beyond all that because a vote for McMullin is not just a vote against Donald Trump — it is a vote for their conservative values and a chance to have an impact for the first time in a long time. Should Trump lose, at least they will be able to say that their state didn’t back him.

          . . . . . . . .

          Many of Utah’s political leaders — including nearly its entire congressional delegation, Gov. Gary Herbert, former Gov. Jon Huntsman and former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney — have disavowed Trump.

          None perhaps louder than Romney, who in March ripped Trump as misogynistic, reckless, “a phony,” “a con man” and a bully. Romney said Trump’s tax plan would “balloon the deficit,” his tariff plan would trigger a trade war, and his plan to take down the Islamic State is “the most ridiculous and dangerous idea of the campaign.”

          Write in Mitt!!! (except of course where you can vote for Evan)
          Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

          For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

          Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

            It's nice to see you come around to where I was three months ago. I'm not trying to be all hipster mode but I was pro-EMac before it was cool.

              You don't need to even try to be all hipster mode.

                    Yes. She obviously works out. Bicep curls and calf raises are definitely in her workout regimen. She has "smokers voice" though.

                    She's speaking about equal pay for women. It's actually an interesting speech regardless of the made up impacts on GDP of an equal pay bill that she's spouting.

                      I don't think Evan is on the ballot in NY.

                      I may be forced to vote for that dunce Gary Johnson.

                          She used to be married to Frank Underwood. So there's that.

                            i don't like Johnson either, but that's harsh.

                              Hey Utah Evan fans, why is there a different vice presidential candidate for McMullin on the ballot? I thought his candidate was Mindy Finn, but I'm seeing pics on FB with Nathan Johnson as his VP in Utah.
                              What gives?

                                becasue he hadnt picked her on time. regardless, she cant become VP no matter what anyways. even if he were elected by the house, the senate would choose between pence and kaine.
