No, Bennett won't get past the primary. Shurtleff will beat him out, not that I really like him much, but he is better than both Cartoon and Bennett.

I wonder if you will change your tune about Cartoon if he decides to run against Bennett for the US Senate in 2010?

Nice post. Really, it is ridiculous to me that China was even awarded the Olympics. I love watching human beings as they challenge the known athletic limits of our species, but I hate the politics that is part and parcel to the games. It's a terrible distraction.

In fairness to the team, they do understand that, and this is really not coming from them. This is coming from Rice Eccles Stadium management and the University of Utah. I have a sincere belief that this will be changed with the advent of the Sandy Stadium and the supporter's section there. As it is right now, RSL is just a tenant at Rice Eccles and has to put up with their garbage.

This sort of stuff makes me want to come down to fvcking Rice-Eccles and pop off some flares. I hate your team because it was supposed to land in Seattle, which ultimately is a dumb reason to hate a team. Now I hate your team because of the way they treat supporters and single them out.

MLS FOs need to learn that supporters are the lifeblood of the team. I'm not saying that we need to be allowed to do heinous things (such as barraging the field with foreign objects - ala Columbus) but we do need freedom to be a little brash, brazen and vulgar. This isn't fvcking MLB we're supporting here and we shouldn't be treated as such.

To summarize: I offer my support to RCB, to Donk, to supporters groups the world over. But any team that will outright discriminate against us... Well, you've got another thing comin'!!!

Paul, half the reason I go to games is because of the supporter's group stuff. I learned about soccer from the Sparta Prague Ultras. While I don't go for their ultra-right-wing political views, going to a match with them was great. I may just take you up on your offer, besides, my daughter is a huge Jeff Cunningham fan, so she'll want to go see him play. I want to see what comes out of some meetings this coming week, and depending on what gets resolved, if anything, I'll let you know.
