Even Utah isn't buying it
Bush has lost Utah.
What starts to become problematic is that apparently nobody can reason with Dubya. His daddy's folks can't, Henry Kissinger can't, and of course Bush isn't interested in what Congress has to say. (Signing statements, anyone?)
So maybe the question the media should be asking instead of "why won't Democrats cave in by being bipartisan" is "what in the world is wrong with this president?" We've never seen anything like this. What happens if they Give a Presidency and Nobody Came?
A Salt Lake Tribune poll conducted last week shows Utah's support for Bush's handling of the war in Iraq has taken a substantial plunge in the past few months. Just 41 percent of Utahans say they support Bush on Iraq - marking the first time a Tribune poll has found fewer than half of Utahans in the president's war camp.Nobody is buying the escalation. Not even the people in Utah.
Meanwhile, the poll shows Utahans about evenly split on whether to send more troops to Iraq. About 44 percent of Utahans back a "surge" - an option Bush reportedly is considering, and which has much lower nationwide support.
