The most surprising repeal vote, a harbinger of troubles to come for the Democratic party, came from Utah congressman Jim Matheson of Utah.

Five repeal votes — a repellent turn of events for the Democratic party, which a little over two years ago boasted supermajorities in the House and the Senate.
If Matheson loses this election, Utah will be entirely red: House, Senate, and Governorship.
