Gaming the States: Utah

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Can the Democrats keep it under 60?
Clinton v. McCain: McCain 68-31
Clinton v. Huckabee: Huckabee 70-29

Obama v. McCain: McCain 66-33
Obama v. Huckabee: Huckabee 71-28

Clinton: 213
McCain: 230

[Verily]

Ummm... why would Huckabee do better there than McCain? Mormons and evangelicals don't exactly get along very well.

I still think the Religious Right would turn out in large numbers for Huckabee.

I expect McCain to do worse than Bush, both because of generally suppressed turnout thanks to anti-McCain sentiments and of lower mormon turnout due to Romney's failure.

But below 60%, lol. That'll be the day.

[Adlai Stevenson]

My prediction:

UTAH -
67% (R) McCain
31% (D) Obama


69% (R) McCain
29% (D) Obama

Huckabee does better than McCain? The guy who actually engaged in Mormon-baiting against Romney does better than the guy who never did?
