Come One, Come All! Diane Turner Reception

Although this is not an official endorsement (just yet), I will say that I am very excited for this race and feel that Diane Turner has a chance to upset Councilman Wilde by less than 1,000 votes.

Primary Predictions

It is that time again, where I look into my extremely cloudy crystal ball and make some predictions about the upcoming primary election taking place next week.

Lawn Signs Don’t Vote – But They Do Say Something

Posted by Curtis in 2010 Election, Utah Politics

It is that time of the year again, where the lawn signs are in bloom. The season, this year, has come early, due in large part to the fact that we are in the middle of several contested primary elections. Sadly, unlike flowers, signs do not just pop up on their own. No, some poor [...]
