From a caucus attendee in Provo: Mike (Lee) is appealing because he is a constitutional scholar. He was legal counsel to Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, He clerked for Justice Samuel Alito. His father was Rex Lee, Dean of the BYU Law School, President of BYU, and Reagan’s Solicitor General. At lunch a few months ago, Mike told me he wants to get up every morning as a U.S. Senator with this question on his mind? “How can I defend the Constitution today?”
If Mike wins, it will be a shot heard ‘round the nation and the world. People will say that Utah has elected a U.S. Senator who is willing to do everything in his power every day to defend the Constitution. Mike’s a brilliant and vigorous young man. He’ll devote his vast knowledge and energies to fight for our freedom.
I've contacted friends and relatives who attended 15 other caucuses last evening. Not one person has told me that a delegate was elected who openly advocated Bennett.

What's he been doing / not doing?
At National Review “Jim, there is a Mormon tradition about the U.S. Constitution that dates back to the 19th Century when some Church leaders said there may come a time when the U.S. Constitution would hang by a thread and the members of the Church would step forward to help save it. The phrase “hanging by a thread” was repeated many times by many different speakers at the caucus yesterday.”
We all talk about getting rid of RINOs. Well here is a great opportunity. Let’s beat Bennett in the primary. Whoever the GOP picks will be elected in Utah this November.
Mike Lee sounds like a great candidate. I am going to send him some money.
