Today is primary day in Utah. I just voted for:
Senate: Mike Lee – This was a “plug my nose” vote. Lee says the right things, but he is too young (making this a possible “Senator for Life” opportunity), a lawyer, and has been in political activities most of his adult life. Alas, Tim Bridgewater strikes me as a man willing to compromise principal to get ahead. He supported No Child Left Behind and his company specialized in wasting government money. If this is the best Utah can offer, well, it says more about Utah than maybe should be said. Anyway, vote for Lee, he sucks less than Bridgewater.
Sheriff: Cory Pulsipher - Here we have the opposite of the Senate race. Two fine candidates that have served with honor and distinction. Friends I like and trust support both of them. In the end I picked Pulsipher because friends of mine who are current and retired Deputies picked him.
School board… no vote. I foolishly didn’t study for these positions. I had no idea about any of them, so I didn’t cast a vote.
