Utah

Outlook: Solid Republican

It is unlikely that there is a more Republican state in the United States than Utah, as it has two Republican senators, a Republican governor, and a Republican state House and Senate. Only one Democrat represents Utah: Congressman Jim Matheson, who has the bluest parts of Salt Lake City to thank for that honor. Like many of its counterparts in the Mountain Time Zone, Utah last went to a Democrat in LBJ's 1964 win. Considering George W. Bush won over 70 percent of the vote there in 2004, this state ought to be an easy five electoral votes for John McCain to count on in 2008.
