in a state with five seats in congress isn't one a democrat? I would be very nervous about all the folks from Calif who left to go skiing and never returned. In five more years conservatives may not be any more powerful in elections than they are in the election of the Bishop for Utah. Someone voted for her and I am well aware of her background.

There is one democrat -- A Mormon, and son of a very popular former governor. He represents the part of Salt Lake that is the least Mormon/furthest left. Salt Lake City, itself, is the least conservative past of the state, except Park City, where the hoi polloi from out of state have bought their expensive ski chalets.
Bush got 70+ percent of the vote here. In 1992, Clinton came in third, after Bush I and Perot. It may change someday, but, for now, I think it will stay conservative. For every liberal skier that moves into the state, I suspect there are a couple of conservative Mormons fleeing the madness in California and coming back home to Utah.
