Latest and Greatest (Gaffes) from Utah's voucher front

"Unhinged:" To make unstable. So says Webster's, circa 1977.

But in the year 2007, it could easily be defined as Utah's pro-voucher campaign. BoardBuzz has already covered the recent tactics, nonsense and head-scratching moves by the voucher crowd, but it appears they aren't done yet.

The Salt Lake Tribune's Paul Rolly details an apparent misunderstanding (why not give the benefit of the doubt?) that looked like an attempt to buy votes for vouchers in the upcoming referendum. Oops. The paper's Rebecca Walsh also sees desperation in the voucher camp.

So what are the voters thinking? A statewide poll released last week says 60 percent plan to vote NO on vouchers. In July, opposition stood at 57 percent.
