Lengthy Mia Love Interview

[cyint]

Thought some of you might enjoy this interview with one of the GOP's rising stars:

Mayor Mia Love of Saratoga Springs, Utah Running for House of Representatives; Would Become First African American, Female Republican in Congressional History; Daughter of Haitian Immigrants/Member of Mormon Faith Like Mitt Romney, Speaks on Campaign

That's great if she's a real Conservative and not a RINO like Romney.

Owens-Love race 'highly competitive,' poll says. Owens-Love race highly competitive poll says KSL.com

I still she will win, considering it is the 2d bi-election in the Obama administration, and historically the opposition party does well.

However, she should win by 10 points going away.

If she wins by less than 3 points, the troubling concern will be that the red meat forces in Utah are not nearly as powerful as once believed.

Such an outcome will make Mike Lee, who has been kissing the moderates ever since the deficit/budget debacle engineered by Cruz and him, absolutely crap in his pants.

Let's hear about some other Republican first time HOR candidates! There are many others! Why do we keep only hearing about this one?

 

[JakeStarkey]

I agree that we are not hearing enough about first contenders.

Mia is important because she, who has a pretty good career as a mayor in Utah County, is having trouble with an election that should be easy for a red meat contender.

Hmm you're right I wonder why?

Mia won a narrow victory, 50 to 47. Congrats.
