God's pick
Rep. Sylvia Andersen, R-Sandy, sent out an email to her constituents encouraging them to attend their caucus meetings tonight. To her credit, she even encouraged Democrats.

She also, of course, did a little self promotion:
My campaign is endorsed by the entire House Leadership and 25 additional members of the House who serve with me daily. I also have the endorsement of Senator Orrin Hatch, Lt. Governor Gary Herbert, AG Mark Shurtleff, Senate Pres. John Valentine, Senator Wayne Neiderhauser, Senator Carlene Walker, Senator John Greiner and Senate Majority Leader Curt Bramble.*
To which, Craig Johnson, replied:
That's an impressive list of supporters. But since Lavar Christensen [a former GOP lawmaker who wants to take his seat back from Andersen] apparently has Heavenly Father's endorsement doesn't that trump all the others?
LaVar reportedly informed Andersen that God told him to get his seat back. (Above, Christensen with God's rep on earth, Gayle Ruzicka.)

Johnson is husband and campaign manager for Democrat Lisa Johnson, who hopes to unseat Rep. Greg Hughes, R-Draper.

*Aren't these the same supportive guys who encouraged LaVar to leave the Lege to to have his ass handed to him by Democratic Congressman Jim Matheson two years ago?

If nothing else, LaVar's renewed candidacy in District 48 has reminded our current representative of the Gerrymandering that got LaVar his seat in the first place.

That picture of Gayle is the stuff of nightmares. If that's what God's Chosen Representative (tm) looks like, I don't want anything to do with Him!

Nothing like good ol' party infighting. Hopefully they'll claw each other's eyes out so Trisha Beck can prevail! One day we will strip the legislature of its ability to draw its own districts. Until then... enjoy those beautifully drawn electoral maps - surely the work of divine inspiration.

Glen, your wit is priceless. "God's rep on earth" indeed.

For the record, Christensen is NOT a conservative but a populist.
