Election night - The big bummer
There's not a lot of "party" in the Utah Republican Party.
Though the R's won most everything they held when they came in to the election, and still control the governor's office and the Legislature, the mood is almost sullen.
The only one smiling at the Grand America Hotel, where the Republicans gathered, was Jason Chaffetz, the newly-minted congressman for Utah's very conservative 3rd District.
Otherwise, the TV crews were packing up, the busboys were taking down the food tables, and everybody was going home early.
Meanwhile, back at the Radisson, the party was just taking off. Club beats emanated from the Young Democrats of Utah suite, while a gaggle of hardcore Dems cheered the news that Utah Speaker of the House Greg Curtis (R-Sandy) was knocked out by Jay Seegmiller.
