Good day all. Recently, former failed governor of Massachusetts, and two time failed presidential candidate, Mitt, (Mittens), Romney announced he planned to be crowned the next senator from Utah. This was after the senior RINO, Moron Hatch announced he was retiring.
Mittens fully expected the Utah Republican Party to just pronounce him to be the only candidate, and that the primary’s weren’t to be bothered with. It didn’t quite work out that way. Here’s what happened from the Salt Lake Tribune:
After 11 hours of political elbowing and shoving at the Utah Republican Convention — held appropriately at a hockey arena — delegates forced Mitt Romney into a primary election against state Rep. Mike Kennedy in the U.S. Senate race.
In fact, Kennedy — a doctor and lawyer — finished in first place at the convention with 51 percent of the vote to Romney’s 49 percent. The former GOP presidential nominee fell far short of the 60 percent needed to clinch the nomination outright.
Romney blamed his second-place finish — out of a dozen Republicans seeking the seat of retiring seven-term Sen. Orrin Hatch — on delegates’ dislike of candidates like him who hedge their convention bids by also gathering signatures to ensure at least a place on the primary ballot.
No, I think they don’t like phony’s who haven’t lived in the state for…like ever. Mittens came in as nothing more then a carpetbagger and that is exactly how may in Utah see him. Now he’s going to have to actually work at his candidacy, and with a little luck, a good opponent and some common sense from the Republican voters in Utah, Mittens will once again be shown the nearest door.
