The State party conventions are over and while there were no surprises on the Democratic side (although it’s always sad to see Cody Judy go), there was some surprises with the GOP. Jon Huntsman, Jr. and Nolan Karras will square off next month in a state primary.
As a former state GOP delegate, I sure missed not being there but as a FYI for anyone interested there is a great new Utah politics daily newsletter that launched Friday. The Earlybird may not be that early for us on the East Coast ( 9- 10 am EDT) but it offers a great round-up of the day’s political news for Utah. Check it out and subscribe if you like.
While the whole UtahPolicy.com website is not new it’s worth checking out with an irregularly updated blog, tips, analysis, and links to resources around the state. No, this is not a commercial, just passing what I consider a pretty nice way to keep up on state politics. It’s too bad the local media doesn’t give it the attention it’s due.

Olene Walker struck me as a moderate voice of reason, and also as a person who had character and integrity. I get the impression she’s simply too moderate and at the same time just tough enough to offend those who are very right-wing in their views. It’s surprising to me that the front-runner in the polls would be ousted by the Republican party, by such a huge margin. Clearly she had offended Utah’s Republican activitst …
What was it she did that most offended the Republican delegates?
I am currently mystified…
