Seriously. Imagine that.

According to a new Y2 Analytics poll out of Utah, the state is in a dead heat, sitting at a statistical tie...

Trump: 29%
Clinton: 27%
Johnson: 26%

Adding to that, Trump and Clinton both performed poorly in their respective primaries with Trump actually coming in dead last in Utah. The heavily Mormon red state is recording the two major party candidates with some of their highest negatives in the country. Plus, not only is Gary Johnson within the margin of error of becoming the frontrunner, Mitt Romney has made several favorable comments in recent weeks about the Johnson/Weld ticket. If an endorsement were to come out of Romney's mouth, I have no doubt Utah will flip in November and we will see electoral votes go to the Libertarian Party for the first time in history...

Wasn't Utah ranked the most conservative state in the union?

If Johnson carries Utah and New Mexico, where he was a popular governor we would see congress electing the president. It would be the most interesting time in modern political history.

Not happening because Clinton only needs a couple of states -- I think Florida and Pennsylvania or Ohio do it -- to get over 270 so she would miss NM's 5 electoral votes less than any Republican would miss Utah's 6. More importantly, Johnson isn't going to win either state much less both; what he's going to do is split the conservative vote and insure that Clinton wins New Mexico and possibly turn Utah blue for this election.

Contrary to what the Trumplets claim, dissatisfaction among the Democratic base isn't anything like the dissatisfaction of Republicans with Trump. It's primarily Republicans who aren't idiotic, xenophobic bigots who are looking for an alternative to the GOP.

It's not out of the question that we could see a slave revolt in the Democrat party. They are rare but do occur at various times in history.

It's not out of the question that birds will fly out of my butt. Both that and a Dem 'slave revolt' are far-fetched, however.

Oh, you mean like Kasich not attending the RNC and Cruz not endorsing the Buffoonanator? As I said, it's Republicans who have an issue with their nominee not the Democrats, but keeping lying to yourself.
