Kiss of death
For some incomprehensible reason, Jean Welch Hill, Democratic candidate for Attorney General, sought and got Hillary Clinton's endorsement.

Does Hill have some sort of political death wish? The only reason Bill Clinton is not the most hated Democrat in Utah is that Hillary walks the earth.

Surely, a sharp political player like Hill asked Hillary to endorse not her, but Republican Mark Shurtleff, and Hillary misunderstood.

Jean Hill. Not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Give me Shurtleff or give me death.

Hillary Clinton is the FIRST and only viable female Presidential Candidate in the HISTORY of the US. Glen, put your personal feelings aside for Hillary and think, hmmmm, a female candidate against a well funded opponent like Mark Shurtleff, what else can a dem do in this godforsaken state of Utah where we're they would vote for mccain over obama. grow a set, realize that Senator Clinton's endorsement is not a kiss of death but a breath of fresh air into the seventh circle of republican hell.

A choice between Shurtleff and death sounds like a choice between the measles and the mumps.

As the ad for Andrew McCullough, Libertarian for Attorney General, says, "There is a choice."

I was going to at least consider the democrat, but I read from her in the voter info that she basically wanted to be in there to fight vouchers.

That isn't why an AG is elected. She should run for something else.

Anyone in the back pocket of the UEA/NEA isn't going to win anyway.
