Karras was his primary opponent.
Did Hansen run at the convention?
I felt sorry for Olene Walker being squeezed out but it seems she vetoed school choice so to hell with her.
Yeah, a whole mess of candidates ran at the convention.

Olene Walker’s main problem was that she was considered too old. If she had run for the full term, she’d have been 74 (and 82 at the conclusion of two terms in 2013). Although Jim Hansen is just 2 years younger, and that may have been counted against him (and he hadn’t been involved in state politics in nearly a quarter-century, having been House Speaker from 1979-81).
I don’t know how I feel about their convention system.
Hansen didn’t do so hot.
I thought Walker came in 3rd but she was 4th with under 10%.
That’s what you get http://deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,595058986,00.html
Look at Hunstman, are he and Myth cousins? Several similarities. At least Myth made his own $$$$ though.
I am from Utah also and I would vote for Huntsman. He is the best governor Utah has ever had.
