Some people say they can't get enough of political chatter by the water cooler.

The Utah Employers Council hasn't received any complaints about too much political chatter at work. A spokesperson doubts there's a problem.

One woman wants people to speak up and spout off. "I think it opens the door for some very interesting and fun banter," she said.

One man told us politics is like the plague; it follows you to work. "All I want to do is just figure out what the weather is. Then up pops Obama or McCain, and of course you bring that to work with you," he said.

Others say they want to know what their colleagues are thinking.
