The latest mailer from Freedom Path falsifies Dan Liljenquist’s business record. The shadowy group, organized legally as a political action committee, is running fast and loose with terms and smears Liljenquist with shoddy research, obscure sources, and false information. Frankly, it’s just dishonest. [cont…]
Freedom Path “Two Scoops…” Mailer Misses the Truth on Double-Dipping
February 16, 2012 by
Recently, I started to get glossy mailers lamblasting Chris Herrod and Dan Liljenquist, the two candidates who are challenging Senator Orrin Hatch for one of Utah’s seats in the US Senate.
I was not surprised. It’s not even an open secret that Orrin Hatch has been for the last two years preparing for a frontal assault on his renomination. Despite the fact that we are still a month away from the actual selection of state delegates for the Utah Republican Convention on March 15, I expected that Senator Hatch (and his PAC Freedom Path) would be actively campaigning to fill caucuses with his supporters and to control the message about Hatch’s and his opponents’ records.
What surprised me was message in the mailers. [cont…]

Losing Nevada, Newt Gingrich Holds a Press Conference [video]
February 5, 2012 by
For a guy who last week, upon losing Florida, was talking the populist talk of running a campaign for and by the people, Newt sure made a strange choice when he opted to skip a speech to reassure his supporters and instead went to the press to air his grievances.
For an airing of grievances is what it was.
If you want to know what kind of man Newt Gingrich is, then you must watch his press conference. After losing Nevada by a two to one margin, he opted to speak to the press instead of supporters (which is ironic, given how much he has bashed the press during the campaign). [cont…]
Four down…forty-six more to go.
February 1, 2012 by
Newt lost Florida, and he lost big. He dissed Romney by not calling to concede. Guess what? There are still forty-six states left in the Republican nomination battle. We’re going to see a lot more of him and his antics.
Further, if you’re voting where I am, you’re voting last. Dead last.
But enough about Utah’s primary in the last third of June. I’ve already expended enough hot air on that else where. While there are some really interesting ideas for changing up the Primary process, we’ll deal with those on a later date.
Right now, we’ve got a primary battle, and it’s going to be long. Contrary to victory speeches and common sense, this race is going to continue for a while. Don’t believe me? [cont…]
Julie Dole Poll Results
January 23, 2012 by
A couple notes about the poll:
1. It’s completely unscientific.
2. It appears that people who oppose Julie Dole voted in far higher numbers than those who support her.
3. The point of my poll and my post was not to attack any candidates that Julie may support or oppose, but to remind her that her duty is to the delegates, and by violating the bylaws, which she did, she threatens the entire convention process. [cont…]
