Another Defection
Mark Towner is a long-time worker bee in the Utah Republican Party. He has held party offices within his voting and legislative districts and has been a member of the party's central committee. He also once ran for a legislative seat as a Republican.
But, apparently, he's had it.
Towner told KSL Radio host Doug Wright today that because he was fed up with some things in the Republican Party, he went to his neighborhood's Democratic caucus last night, was delighted with the gracious way he was treated, particularly by Democratic legislators Jackie Biskupski in the House and Scott McCoy in the Senate, and, get this, he was elected as a delegate.
That might make things easier all the way around, however. Towner successfully obtained a restraining order against fellow Republican Mike Ridgway which forbids Ridgway from having contact with Towner and members of his family. That issue recently went to the Utah Supreme Court, with Ridgway claiming parts of the order prevented him from exercising his right to political speech. The high court remanded it back to the District Court after making some clarifications in its order.
Ridgway, how is running as a Republican for the Utah House of Representatives, so he likely will be attending Republican functions quite regularly. With Towner now as a Democrat, the chances of them running into each other have been reduced.
Cheers,
Paul Rolly

Both of these guys are total idiots. The Dems can have them both if they want.
Mark is a political genious. If he really is becoming a dem, then the republicans better watch out. He know how to get things going behind the scene.
