    No offense, but Bail Out Barrett, Tim Bridgewater a.k.a Bob Bennett 2.0 and Cash? Cash is not so bad, but Duncan is really good. Also strongly disagree on you NC-08 numbers. No way a psycho like D’Annuzio wins, and definitely by that big of a margin. The only poll, by PPP, who nailed the last few big races, has Johnson waaay ahead.

    Not so fast – Why would Utah want to replace Bennett with the same-ol, same-ol ?

  • itsjoanne

    And I hope Wright defeats Matheson. That should about guarantee the district goes GOP in November.

    I’ve felt ever since the convention that the ‘fix’ was in, and the UT establishment would ensure Bridgewater will win. I’ve seen nothing to change that impression.

    As to some of SE’s other predictions, I’m going to predict that Johnson will prevail in NC-08 – I think D?Annunzio is scaring too many people to win that.

    Anyone else want to engage in a little “Operation Chaos” and get Republicans and Republican-leaning independents to vote in the Dem primary for her? UTah Dem primaries are open, so anyone can vote in them. If she wins, Morgan Philpot is the next congressman from the district. If anyone has friends there, get them to vote for her!

    Johnson is leading according to PPP poll and he gives Kissell a race

    The other guy would be a disaster
