Utah had it’s state convention today. In Utah if anyone gets 60% at the convention they win, otherwise the top 2 go to a primary.
There will be no primaries for any congressional race. Mia Love gets the CD-4 nomination with almost 80% over her weak challenger. She faces rat John Owens, spawn of former Congressman Wayne Owens. Gotta love the consistency from Utah rats, but he’s no Matheson, most rate this race as a safe pickup.
Jason Chaffetz (who I forgot is an ex-rat who once had Kitty Dukakis as a stepmother and a half-brother by her) likewise won easily over a pair of nobody challengers.
It surprises me that the nobody challengers didn't vocally point out that Chaffetz now supports the same position he decried Chris Cannon for holding. Literally, that was the ONLY issue Chaffertz campaigned on, and said the position he holds now was unacceptable back then. You could do a great Kerry vs. Kerry style mashup video of Chaffetz 2008 vs. Chaffetz 2014.
Of course, I pointed out this as well when Sununu was consistently polling behind Shaheen and didn't drop out, despite calling on Bob Smith to do so under the same circumstances six years earlier.
It's cute how politicians morph into the predecessor they trashed to win that office.
