It might be time to send Jimmy Carter to Utah County to oversee the GOP convention. Things are getting less democratic all the time in Utah's banana republic.

The newest twist is that an unnamed party stooge tried to block a delegate because the person dared to not pledge support to Senate Majority Leader Curt Bramble, right, at Saturday's convention.

Accusations of political hackery have been building for weeks against Utah County's Gang of Four — Bramble and his wife Susan, who is party secretary, and state GOP chairman Stan Lockhart and his mate, the merciless Rep. Becky Lockhart — who are trying to crush all opposition to their regime.

This all wouldn't be so bad if there were another party in Utah County. Though a few Democrats, like wolves in Daggett County, recently have been sighted in the Provo area, they have been trapped and returned to the Salt Lake Valley.
