The “Mormon” question. [sigh] Who hasn’t heard it yet? Can a Mormon be elected president? I can’t get into a conversation about politics and the 2012 campaign for the White House without Mitt Romney coming up. This includes conversations with your average voters and political insiders, family and friends, Democrats and Republicans alike. (Why, yes, […]
Utah is becoming even more Republican…if that’s even possible.
June 1, 2011 by
Last night, or early this morning, I engaged in some hyperbolic jousting over Twitter with the inestimable Deb Henry, a candidate for Vice Chair of the Utah Democratic Party. Amidst the trash talk, Deb reminded the world why she is running for Vice Chair of the Utah Democratic Party (yes, our state has one). http://twitter.com/heydebhenry/status/75806018684207104 […]
Why did the GOP lose NY-26? Not the reason you think.

In case you missed the the 10 PM news last night… The movie trailer is cut. The posters printed. Ayn Rand’s fourth, last, and longest novel is now a movie. Well, part one of it at least. Chair of the Utah Young Republicans Daniel Burton says, “We’ve heard it’s low budget but we still hope […]

Low budget (only about $10 million), there have been those who have wondered if it’ll be worth watching. Others have opined that after all the credit it gets in […]
