Candidate makeover
Pat Jones, running for the state Senate in District 4 has an advantage she doesn't even know about. To many voters, she's the incumbent ... sort of.
Sen. Patrice Arent, decided against running for reelection in the Holladay-Murray-based district, but apparently the word hasn't gotten out to many constituents.
"I keep getting calls from people in the district who say, 'I saw your reelection brochure. I love what you've done with your hair!' "
Arent is a brunette and Jones, as astute political insiders know, has silver hair.
Word on the street is that GOP boss James Evans has been trying to counter Jones' unexpected incumbency advantage by talking Republican hopeful Dirk Anjewierden into wearing a tasteful frock. The Log Cabin Republicans reportedly are providing consulting services.

The bad news for Pat, however, is her polling shows her down 4 points so being the quasi-incumbent doesn't much matter.
