Utah Gossip

This being Utah’s first Super Tuesday, record numbers of Utah voters are expected to take part in today’s primary.  And many feel, for the first time in years, that their vote will actually count for something.  Utah’s Primary offers a large portion of the delegates needed to win the nomination in each party.

Among the Republicans, it’s winner takes all and Mitt Romney remains the Republican favorite throughout the state (well, duh), with support from the majority of the state’s political leaders.  However, John McCain is making a final stand (he even appeared on KSL news this  morning) and gained the endorsement of Governor Jon Huntsman, Jr.

The Democrats could walk away with some delegates as long as they get at least 15% of the vote.  Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have heavily campaigned in the Beehive state, running ads on both TV and the radio.

There has never been a more important and historical race for party nominations, one in which young people are so involved. So get out there and get your vote on!
