The presidential race looks somewhat similar to last years Salt Lake mayors race…now hear me out on this one. Hillary Clinton is Jenny Wilson, no not because they are both women, but rather because they were destined to win right from the get go only to loose soundly. Both candidates walk(ed) around with a swagger, [...]

Election Wrap Up…Salt Lake City Mayor’s Race.
This is the one my loyal readers (anonymous, babycakes_222, ElMeRsGLU, and anonymoustoo) have been waiting for! Yes, yes, more than two weeks after the actual event happened I will break down the Salt Lake City mayor’s race. As always I will provide you with the caveat that, until recently, I worked for the Ralph Becker [...]
What Makes a Campaign Tactic “Dirty” – Part II
Motivation behind dirty campaign tactics First off, if you need to catch up, click here. There are two main reasons for a candidate to resort to dirty tactics: the candidate is lagging in the polls, and/or the candidate is not able to differentiate themselves from their opponent. Why is this? First off let us address [...]
What Makes a Campaign Tactic “Dirty”?
First off, and always, I feel that I need to preface all mayoral blog posts with the disclosure that I am working for the Ralph Becker for Mayor Campaign. Of late many people, myself included, have noticed an increase in negative attacks by the Dave Buhler campaign towards our campaign. At the same time I [...]
Yeah, I know it is Immature…

Now before all two of you who actually read this thing weigh in, let me preface this by saying that I have lived in Utah and Salt Lake City my entire life; I am [...]

Well what a week it has been, I know it has been a little while since I have posted. This is mostly due to my real job interfering, but it is a price I am willing to pay. Only one word comes to mind when I think about the fantastic come-from-behind victory the entire Becker [...]
September Surprise

Ralph Becker – The Only Choice for the West Side
Many candidates talk the talk about the West Side, however only one walks the walk both figuratively and literally. Before I continue, I feel that I must, as always, provide you with my bias. I am the Volunteer Coordinator for the Becker Campaign. That being said I still feel that, after working with Ralph for [...]
