State party chair Wayne Holland's statement on the first 100 hours (utdemocrats.org):

"If these first 100 hours are any indication of how effective the Democratic Congress will be at passing legislation important to Utahns, then we are off to an exceptional start," said Utah Democratic Party Chair Wayne Holland, Jr. "Congressman Matheson is working harder than ever to ensure that the interests of Utahns are the first priority. For Mr. Cannon and Mr. Bishop to vote against legislation desired by a majority of Utah citizens demonstrates an alarming level of arrogance and vindictive behavior."

And I'm sure they all have 'good reason'. They surely don't want to be viewed as obstructionists, do they? Sure seems that way to me tho'. I would hope that most Utahns want to see some progress for a change.

We'll write the bills around here, thanks.

I think it represents more of a "sour grapes" stance. Also, it's against these guys personal constitution to allow the Democrats to have a victory, even if it helps the people of America.
