Hey, J., have you seen the demographics for Utah’s new 4th ?
I haven’t seen demographic info for the new UT CDs, but Impy found the presidential voting stats, which he posted here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-gop/2816441/posts?page=18#18
The UT-04 gave McCain 56% in 2008 and gave President Bush 66% in 2004. The presidential vote results are almost identical to those of Matheson’s current CD (57% for McCain, 66% for Bush). And I believe that most of the voters are new to Matheson.
Matheson’s CD was one of 16 to give President Bush 60%+ in 2004 yet elect a Democrat to the House in 2008 (AL-02, AL-05, GA-03, ID-01, IN-08, MD-01, MS-01, MS-04, MO-04, ND-AL, PA-10, SD-AL, TN-06, TX-17 and VA-09), but the only one not to elect a Republican in 2010. I hope that we can finish the job in 2012.
