Christensen Admits Secret Shame
“Christensen Doesn’t See Bush As Liability” says the front page headline in the Tribune. Apparently he’s the only candidate in the country still using Bush in his teevee commercials. The headline should say “badly losing candidate also displays poor political judgement.” That would be news.

It wouldn’t be news for LaVar. He displayed poor political judgment from Day 1 when he assumed that District 2 voters were all robots who would punch his ticket just because he is a Republican. I really don’t think it ever occurred to him that the R after his name wouldn’t be enough.

Voice,
I think the Republicans just can’t accept that they need a Matheson of their own if they want any chance of beating him.
If John Swallow had just stood right up and said that he would have fought to keep nuclear testing and nuclear waste away from Utah even when it meant taking George Bush head on, he’d be Utah’s congressman right now. But instead he made that three second film of him walking down a hall with Bush the centerpiece of his campaign.
Any Republican with a chance against Matheson now would have to be one who upset them as much as Matheson upsets Democrats by making his own way instead of toeing the party line. Which means Matheson is safe because they’d never tolerate it the way we do.
