I voted Idaho.  Second-highest GOP Presidential vote, and unlike UT doesn't have a Democratic dynasty like the Mathesons that can run competitive races.

Idaho is really strongly Republican as well as Utah. Idaho seems more loyal to the GOP, where as Utah votes GOP because of the Mormon presence.

Of course I've heard of him...Church Commission and all that.  He was swept out in the Reagan 1980 landslide and died shortly thereafter.  We were talking about today, right?

I'm going to be contrarian and put in a vote for Kansas.  Idaho may be more Republican at the moment, but really doesn't have the historical connection.  Excluding the past 25 years, Vermont would hold the title.  Kansas has the best mix of both - being traditionally Republican dating back to the Party's inception, but also being very Republican today.   The '06 election was rough, and they do have a Dem governor now, but a lot of their problems are related to one of the most severe divisions between moderate and conservative factions in the country.

Utah by far... Idaho does have a Democratic legacy with Frank Church, and I believe has elected Democratic Governors in recent memory.

Utah doesn't elect Democrats, and I don't know the last time a Democrat was elected to office there.

I suppose you are just counting the statewide level, because Jim Matheson is now a four-term Congressman.

Democratic Congressman from UT-02.  Blue Dog, but Democrat nonetheless.

And if you cut Idaho into three districts, there'd be a good chance of one of the three going Democrat.

I voted Idaho. Utah at least has a Democratic congressman.

Although Idaho is more Republican, I agree that Utah is more conservative.

Salt Lake City is a (relatively) major city, and all of its mayors have been Democrats for decades now.  I don't think there is anything comparable in Idaho.

I voted Utah.  It's Republicanism is much deeper rooted in religion, and as such, that much more immovable.

(Not that there isn't a sizable Mormon population in Idaho.)

Either Idaho or Utah. Utah has been giving higher percentages to Republicans in the past few elections, but Idaho has been very good to Republicans in the past. Idaho was much closer than Utah in the '64 race as well.

 It doesnt' matter, they are both full of nutjobs.
