Who re-elected Buttars?
Tribune columnist Rebecca Walsh went to South Jordan to find some people who actually voted for Sen. Chris Buttars. It wasn't hard:Cindy Schmidt couldn't really explain her vote for the controversial Republican - except to offer that she took advice from "family." In spite of scrupulous reporting of every Buttars bumble - "dat," "the gay," the "black baby" thing, bullying a judge for a developer friend - Schmidt brushed each off as so much fluff.Even an African-American she cornered at a polling place said he had forgiven Buttars.
"I think a lot of it's political. I don't put a lot of weight on it," she said.
He used poor judgment of a joke. He's one of those people who think they're funny but they're not.

Don't count me in that group of people who voted for the armpit of Utah (i.e. Buttars). I proudly voted for John Rendell and encouraged everyone I knew to vote for Rendell as well.
Keep your eyes out for re-counts and provisional ballot counts. This one's not over yet.
So Ms. Walsh "cornered" someone because of skin color???
