Herbert loses a friend
Lt. Governor Gary Herbert has been running for higher office since he was elected — just look at his web site festooned with photos of Herbert shmoozing state officials.

But now, thanks to his over-zealous chief of staff, we know whose seat he's targeting. Bob Bennett, watch your back.

Herbert's chief of staff Joe Demma, whom we can only deduce has suffered a severe head injury, updated his online Facebook page to read:
Joseph Michael Demma's Boss (just re-nominated for Lt. Gov) is now a candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2010!
Demma followed up by firing off messages from his Blackberry to several powerful Republicans, bragging:
Our LG will, unless he becomes GOV in the interim, file to run as a GOP representative for the US Senate seat in 2010, regardless of who might also be in that race - the incumbent, included.
Herbert is denying he is salivating over Uncle Bob's senate seat:
I have absolutely zero, less than zero, interest of running for Senate, certainly against my good friend Robert Bennett.
