If she runs next time, she will win.

Mia Love was supposed to be the first black Republican woman in Congress.
The daughter of Haitian immigrants, Love was the mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah, a recently-incorporated, fast-growing suburb of Salt Lake City.
She had a newly redrawn Congressional district that put six-term Congressman Jim Matheson, a Blue Dog Democrat and a member of a politically prominent Utah Mormon family, in a precarious position.
She had a big-time spot as a speaker at the Republican National Convention.
She had Republican All-Stars like Condoleeza Rice, John Boehner, Paul Ryan, and Mitt Romney raising money and programming robocalls for her.
And she’d even been the star of one of those new “I’m a Mormon” LDS Church public relations campaign videos.
The Salt Lake Tribune’s pollsters gave Love a 12-point lead on November 2.
But against the odds, Jim Matheson held onto his seat, as Love failed to launch her Congressional career.

I think Mia suffered from a Mitt backlash.
If she runs next time, she will win.
Next time. With Sarah Palin. :D
message to Mia Love:
its O.K. Mia; we learn by our failures; and you will too; expect to see you in another campaign
“There was the Libertarian candidate who drew away 5,000 votes—twice as many as Matheson’s 2646-vote margin of victory.”
Duh!
Dream ticket:
Palin/Love
Mia dont run opposite a WHITE+ MORMON+ MALE from a Mormon royalty family next time...
FOUR strikes against you...
Mia Love is still young, she’ll be back. And yes, she would make a far better candidate to Congress than plenty of people nowadays would.
Real simple, as conservative as she was she was a black FEMALE, running against a prominent MALE “priesthood holder”. Both are LDS. All all things being equal, Mormons will vote for a male LDS over a female.
There are still a lot of LDS who hold pre-1978 views about blacks too.
Had the Dem been a ‘gentile’ (non-Mormon) she would have won.
Leading to the question: do you have a problem with whites, Mormons, or males?
If she runs next time, she will win.
Next time. With Sarah Palin. :D
You Betcha!
Bump!
She looks wonderful
classy lady...
Tell her to come to TN...
:D
Go Sarah!
Go Mia!
Conservative women certainly have a “glow’, don’t they?
Librel womyn have down-deep “nasty” they just can’t hide.
You bet they do, they absoutly melt me.
Very true. I think it is because conservative women have a positive outlook, while liberal/socialist/democrat women (take your pick) have a very negative outlook. That translates into their outward appearance, manner, etc. Hey, as conservatives we know there are things wrong here, but we also know we can fix them. That’s a positive attitude, and it shows.
Nothing says “Dem win” like a Clintonian plurality....
Not to be dismissive about the whole thing, but Mrs. Love is quite attractive. This is a trend for Conservative women.
liberal womyn get made ugly by their hate — even the ones that started out attractive.
Conservative women reject hate (as do all Conservatives) — thus they retain their beauty.
GMTA! :)
In accordance with democrat talking points about those who oppose theOne, it needs to be said that those who voted against Love (and West) were doing so as racists.
