I haven't gotten a chance to grab one yet (it's hitting newsstands as I type), but I go quoted in this week's City Weekly: Democratic Party delegate Bob Aagard, of Holladay, thinks a liberal primary challenger for Matheson would be good for the party because it would force Matheson to tiptoe to the left to win in the primary. But he also thinks it would be good for Matheson in a general election because...

Last Spring, when Jon Huntsman was nominated to be the Ambassador to China, and Jim Matheson was non-committal with whether or not he would run for Governor in 2010, I made a list of people who could run for Jim's seat. It was basically a list of every Democrat I knew, and some pros and cons to their running. It's a list that has come in handy as of late. So, it's interesting to see one of the people...

Not an exact likeness of Rep. Jim Matheson It’s time to let Rep. Jim Matheson know what we think of his votes for the poison-pill Stupak Amendment and against the House health insurance reform bill, the America’s Affordable Health Choices Act. We are paying his South Salt Lake district office a visit on Friday, [...]

From the e-mail box: Dear Friends, We can never say thank you enough to our men and women in uniform--both active duty and veterans. Veterans Day is a time to pause and to reflect on the sacrifices made by our troops. General Douglas MacArthur said, "The soldier, above all others, is required to practice the greatest act of religious training--sacrifice." That sacrifice is embodied in the...

That's right, contrary to "popular" belief, a challenger to Jim Matheson will help him. I believe this for two reasons: 1) It will move him further to the left. He doesn't have to go to the extreme that Bob Bennett is going to, but just throw the liberals a bone once in a while. In 2006, Chris Cannon was challenged from the right flank of his party, and came out successful. However, he didn't...

Really, it's a two-part question, wherein both questions are similar yet different. 1) Is there anything that I'm currently getting with Jim Matheson as my "representative" that I couldn't get with a Republican in his seat? 2) Is there anything Democrats living in the 1st and 3rd Congressional Districts get with Matheson in office that they otherwise wouldn't get. I'm just wondering. And...

A few months ago, I got a phone call from a friend I have met through politics. He wanted to ask me a few questions about something. Specifically, he wanted to know the process for filing as a Democrat to run against Jim Matheson. I unloaded my knowledge of how the Convention system works, as well as my limited knowledge of the FEC. I gave him some words of warning that are pertinent to anyone looking...

At Open Left, Paul Rosenberg is discussing the idea of strong, progressive primary challenges to the crappy Dems who voted for the Stupak or who voted against the health care reform bill. Utah’s Jim Matheson is one such craptacular Democrat. From Democracy for Utah, we get this provocative passage: Matheson’s amendments were virtual copies [...]
