House Race Hotline Extra: Utah 03 Some quotes to illustrate the importance of this race.
"There is a very good chance that he could go down," Jeff Hartley, executive director of the Utah Republican Party, tells First Read. "You wouldn't have the involvement from the White House if he weren't in jeopardy." (NBC News)
Consultant LeVarr Webb: "A low turnout is expected, so be one of the few who make a difference and have a voice." (Utah Policy Daily) )
UT GOP Chair Joe Cannon "says he's trying to stay neutral" in his brother's UT 03 primary, "but it didn't come across that way" in his online comments about challenger/alleged Satan victim John Jacob (Salt Lake Tribune).
A poll published over the weekend by the Deseret Morning News and KSL-TV, conducted by Dan Jones & Associates, found Cannon ahead — 46-33 percent among registered voters in the 3rd District. But 18 percent of voters remained undecided. "That's one of the highest 'undecideds' numbers I've seen so close to a primary election," said Jones, who has polled in Utah for more than 30 years. (Deseret News)
Jacob backtracks on his "Satan" comments: "What the [Salt Lake Tribune] reported and what I said weren't the same thing. It wasn't that [the devil] was trying to keep me out of Washington. I was just saying when you're trying to get into politics, there's a lot of adversity. … Contrary to reports of saying it was keeping me from being there, it was going to help me in training when I get there. It's not the devil; it's adversity." (Utah Policy Daily)
I modify my statement. If Tancredo runs for president, that's when the real money will come in.
I hear they have lunch at the Build-a-burger.
I hope to God your right.
The thought that someone could come into our homes, in the middle of the night, and carve us to bits and write satanic verse on the walls and sheets with their blood, cut through Los Angeles and surrounding areas like a knife.
The trial of these people only added to the horror.
I take it you never read Helter Skelter? Here is a link on CourtTv with the whole story... this wasn't your run-of-the-mill crime for those days or even in this crazy time.

Bay Buchanan is a Mormon and she has a home in Utah. She has every right to involve herself in this election.
That's new news to me. Last I heard, she was a Roman Catholic, like her brother Pat.
Yes, I know all about the story.
From ancient American history.
Bay and tommy will have to rely mostly on suckers who like to throw their hard earned cash into a political grifter hole.
There is no big $12 million public money jackpot for them to takeover as bay and pat took from the Reform party in 2000, although I don't doubt bay is sniffing around the public trough.
From what you said in post 209:
It is proof positive that he didn't play the fool to a bait-and-switch Congress, but instead that he fully concurred with the provisions of the 1986 act. In addition, if he had wanted to enforce strong sanctions against employers of illegals, he could have do so during the remaining two years of his 2nd term. He also could have built a wall, increased border security, and so on, thereby setting all-important precedents. The fact that he did not do so speaks volumes about his perspective on this issue.
Reagan should never have signed that amnesty but I'm afraid many (not you) are using that to justify doing it again. A few were on this thread. That's why I responded to your post.
Well, she isn't (a Catholic) she converted to Mormon in 1982.
I know presidential candidates can draw a salary from donations and it's pretty substantial, do you happen to know how much?
Since you weren't alive at the time, then you really have no perspective of the times or the crime.
Why are a series of murders from the Great Depression, which apparently didn't involve anyone you knew personally, causing you so much angst?
That's Bay goosin' him to make a fool of himself.
If he does run for President, Hastert could take him off every committee through a vote in the GOP caucus.
I don't think even Tancredo is that stupid.
Good grief, I didmt know that. I wonder what Pat thinks about that. Pat is one of these Traditionalist Catholics too
Don't know, you would have to ask someone who has worked on the many losing Alan Keyes campaigns to find that out.
Must have been because her first husband was a Mormon.
That explains her weirdness.
Don't matter, they could have brunch at the Trilateral House of Pancakes or supper at the Council of Foreign Restaurants but the bottom line is Cannon is a great pal of socialist democrats who want open borders just like McCain and Hagel are. If he loses I will lose no sleep.
I wonder what the rules are for Republican "exploratory" runs. Having Tancredo in the primaries would be a disaster
I dont know any Republican is for open borders and that anyone that crosses can just stay forever. I dont think anyone is proposing that as a proposal
