Primary Elections

It was such a wonderful experience to wake up this morning and find out that there are plenty of people who can think in the 3rd Congressional District and do not like getting constantly lied to. It was great to see Chris Cannon lose his primary, especially after his blatant lies about Chaffetz not living in the district (he would not be even eligible to run if he didn't live there) and even after being confronted about the lies, not backing off of them. I hope now that Cannon (the Troll) will finally go back to living under his bridge and not bother anyone again.
On a local level, I am currently (mis)represented at the Legislature by Glenn Donnelson. He has been on the wrong side of about every issue that has come up in the Legislature from what my stances are. For those who don't know, he's the one who, every year, presents the bill to take away in-state tuition to children of illegal immigrants who would otherwise qualify for resident tuition at the state's public universities. Thankfully, that bill has been beat down every time he's tried to present it. For you RSL fans, Donnelson voted against the stadium bill and when I tried to contact him regarding his vote, I was told by his intern, "Mr. Donnelson doesn't feel he needs to justify his vote to you." Well this is exactly why he is no longer going to (mis)represent me. The best part is, he got his ass handed to him by a political newcomer. I like Ryan Wilcox enough that, even though I'm a Democrat, I will probably vote for him in November. New blood is exactly what we need in the state legislature.
