Matheson's big fear? Congressman Rocky?
Rep. Jim Matheson hasn't endorsed plans to give him a safe Democratic seat as Utah tries to add a fourth U.S. House district.
He insists politicians shouldn't be drawing up such districts. But could there be another reason? Could it be that he knows Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson probably could carry that new district?
The new seat would include northern Salt Lake County (including Utah's liberal-leaning capital) and Summit and Morgan counties -- a territory far more blue than Matheson's current constituency.
Anderson has stepped up criticism of Matheson for not being a true Democrat. But the mayor, who ran for Congress in 1996 and lost to maverick Republican Merrill Cook, isn't interested in taking Matheson's place.
"No, I don't intend ever to run for Congress," Anderson said recently. "I can get a lot more done with what I have in mind than being one of 435 congressmen."
The capital's liberal mayor announced in August he wouldn't seek a third term and instead would work on global-warming and human-rights issues.

click on the above link and tell me 911 was not an inside job. FU.
No wonder Rocky has been doing anything he can to destroy the Utah Democratic Party.
He has sold his soul to the Republican so that he can get a chance ay Congress.
What a dick!
