The New York Times was hoping the Olympic Games and the influx of all those visitors would make Utahans more... (gasp) LIBERAL!!! Dream on. For people in the Red Zone States, its a question of values, not affluence. Even evangelical Christians will stop knocking Mormons for once on here since they embody family values, hard work, and virtue like no where else in the country. No one even comes close to how people live in Utah. And for the NYT the state's not so much a model for America as its a poster child for every thing liberals hate and fear about a Red America. Worst piece of biased reporting for the eastern Big City newspaper I've ever seen. Utah will go on just as it has always done without the need to bask in the seal of approval from the hoity toity liberals of the New York Times.

Which of course stems from the assumption that you have live an ignorant sheltered life to be a Republican. I would not be surprised if the games actually caused a few people to become more conservative instead.
