Its certainly political season here in America. Cedar City is littered with signs like these. To me, a relative outsider, it all seems a little weird. Being the politically minded person I am, I read the local news from the town and have yet to read anything which tells me more about a candidate than these signs do. Maybe this guy, Dan Webster, was responsible for the pointless lighthouse here at 6000ft above sea level, who knows?
There's no great suspense in awaiting the outcome of the elections, this is solid Republican country and views and laws are more conservative than I thought existed. It would be interesting to see how long or popular some of the policies would be back home in England. Take this example; in Cedar City its perfectly legal to deny someone employment if they are gay. Its clearly a topical point and last week a motion make this illegal was brought before the council but voted down. But as I said, I'm a relative outsider and it all seems a little weird.
