Two comments:

1) Utah always gets left off the "cosmopolitan" states, but it is QUITE urban and suburban.  It's super Republican, but so are a lot of suburbs ... there are more "super Republican" suburbs out there than "super Democratic" ones, after all.

2) I think it's more of a case that the social conservatives in the Mountain West (and there are tons of them) are less socially conservative than the social conservatives in, say, the South?  That doesn't make them socially liberal, but the region's Republican Parties do seem to have more of a "mainstream" feel.
