I wouldn't call it "wrong" at all!!! - its one of the more refreshing aspects of politics today.  There isn't a single state in the union that is completely within the domain of one party.  Even Idaho has a statewide Dem elected official.

That means we have more competition and competition produces better government and more choices for voters.

Also all of the "wrong" Governors tend to be more moderate than their national party counterparts.  If Mitt Romney were the face of the national GOP and Brad Henry were the face of the national Dems... you'd probably see more competition for federal offices in those respective states.

Utah has all-Republican statewide EO's but a Democrat congressman and will probably have a competitive Gubenatorial election.

htmldon - isn't Utah completely in the domain of the Republicans?
