Tuesday, we're looking at Utah junior Senator Mike Lee's role in the current stalemate in Washington. Lee has joined with Texas Senator Ted Cruz and others to lead a charge against the Affordable Care Act and many believe their tactics have contributed to the government shutdown. Recent poll numbers show 51% of Utahns have an unfavorable view of the Senator and even some Republican colleagues are distancing themselves. Doug is joined by a panel of experts to talk about Senator Lee's relationship with voters and the party.
