Rumble in Provo
Things are getting ugly, in that rollicking political way, in the RaDene Hatfield-Curt Bramble race for state Senate. An accidental meeting between the two candidates led to a confrontation over important issues like stolen lawn signs.
Hatfield's story is that Bramble, backed by mob of family members, was threatening to her.
Bramble says Hatfield was "yelling irrationally" and he walked away.He was aggressive from the moment he walked up to me.
Hatfield's husband Harlan, later wrote Bramble a warning letter.
Your aggressive and vague accusations while she was alone, away from her car and supporters, but while you were surrounded by yours, would be unsettling to anyone in her position. Please do not approach RaDene again while she is alone during this campaign.Portraying Bramble as a bully is an excellent campaign strategy, especially since many lawmakers, activists, reporters and pizza delivery girls will confirm it.
But it's a strategy that could backfire for Hatfield. After all, if you can't stand up to obnoxious, irrational, (what the hell — let's throw in pompous, ill-groomed, personal hygiene-challenged, misshapen) louts — you're not going to accomplish much in the Utah Legislature.
Finally, probably nowhere in the world outside of Utah County, can anyone respect a female politician who lets her hubby step in to defend her. Ask Hillary.
In short, RaDene, if you can't slap Bramble down — just forget about it.

RaDene is a VERY tough woman with deep pioneer roots. She definitely can take care of herself in the legislature but she believes in respect an collaboration unlike Bramble who only believes in bullying and intimidtion. But like most modern political couples, her relationship is a partnership so it's perfectly appropriate for she and her husband to tag team.
What do "deep pioneer roots" have to do with anything? Is this just code for "RaDene is from here and Bramble isn't"?
Of course, with a name like RaDene, most people would guess she's from "here" anyway.
No one is looking into Hatfields history of indebtedness or MH issues. Only in Utah County would no one look into someone's history. Bramble on the other hand appears out of touch with his constituents.
Let's not lose site of the fact that Bramble and his team approached a women while she was alone out campaigning and started yelling at her irrationally and then followed her as she walked away. Let's not forget he did the same thing to a pizza girl and just about anyone else who doesn't do whatever he wants. Is this the kind of person we want running our state?
Word of advice:
Feed the beast lunch and Jazz tickets and he will be nice as (pizza) pie.
I have a hard time believing RaDene would be "Irrationally Yelling" at ANYTHING...
Have you met her? She's solid.
This isn't the first I've heard on this Bramble creep. What's his deal? My construction workin' dad always taught me to stand up to bullies like this bonehead. Where do I sign up?
If you want to help out RaDene go to her website. RaDene.com
