So far today, Satan hasn't called for a retraction of the story quoting 3rd Congressional District candidate John Jacob saying he believes the devil has been working against his bid for office. But the story has certainly has some traction with the public.

KSL's Web site listed dozens of comments from readers on the Satan vs. Jacob story. A few samples:

I cant believe it!

Does he also believe the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus & the tooth fairy may be hindering his attempt!

Jacob sounds like a good person who understands that there IS truly evil in the world and in our lives. When good and evil are eliminated from the equation then one is left only with human nature, agnosticism and atheism. Too bad Cannon doesn't have the guts to speak openly about his belief in a higher and lower power. Sounds like Cannon is moving rapidly toward either the cowardice of political correctness or he is truly becoming a humanist.
Jacob is good for Utah and the US.

Well...

We know where Dell Schanze is working now....Political advisor to John Jacob. Next he will say that the media are the devils and ruining his polical career.

And just for measure, KUTV posted the story and to ensure readers know
who Satan is, they posted his picture:
