Another GOP nitwit’s ratings plummet over the GOP shutdown. This time Senator Mike Lee of Utah.

Well, outside of metro Salt Lake, there ain’t a whole lot to Utah’s economy that isn’t based on tourism at federal sites like Zion and Arches National Parks and mining federal lands.

Hmm, so federal spending benefits wingnut voters too and not just mooching minorities. Whoda thunk it?

Also, this might also be a sign that Utah is drifting gradually to the left as more minorities and techies move there. Hell, I was able to gulp down a huge margarita in a restaurant in SLC back in August, so things must be liberalizing a bit. I really think the Dems need to make a hard sell to the Mormons and try to flip Utah someday. The Christian Right hates them anyway.
