I consider the Republican governor primary a victory in that Greg Hughes was defeated. I am OK with Spencer Cox as our likely governor.

In Jon Huntsman, we now have an overly qualified moderate Republican looking for a job in public service. Wouldn’t it be great to get Mike Lee voted out of office and replaced with someone like Jon Huntsman?

I would register as a Republican again to help make that happen.

A guy can hope.
