Presidential election in Utah

I’m currently in the small town of Kanab, Utah. Tonight is the presidential election where Obama squares off against Romney. The conservative state of Utah is pro-Romney as expected, and I’ve heard much about it on the local radio during the day.

When rolling into town earlier, I was a bit curious of what to expect. Perhaps the evening would unfold at a local bar, where I would follow the election mayhem taking place on large TV screens, busy pitching my ale against the increasingly frothing Romney acolytes.

Nope.

As I asked the motel owner for options, he declared with a sigh that “we do not have such places around here”. Welcome to Utah, I suppose. But come on, there’s at least 50 people and four squirrels living here, so there should be at least one open place?

Easy parking in Kanab.

Anyway, I had to retreat to the motel room TV. The presenters at CNN are absolutely crazy with their projections and state analyses in red and blue. Take the blue pill. Go Obama!
