Utah needs America
As Bob Aagard mentioned on his blog, The World, According To ME, I was on NIGHTSIDE last night where I fully endorsed Senator Orrin Hatch for his campaign to replace current US Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales.
When Michael Castner asked who I thought Governor Huntsman should appoint my immediate response was Utah Democratic Chairman, Wayne Holland Jr (after all, he is the chair).
Michael laughed and then asked who I really thought would be the Governor's choice. Ethan Millard suggested that Governor Huntsman should appoint himself (which isn't a bad idea at all), but in the 0.25 seconds I had to answer I mention that if it had to be a Republican that President John Valentine would be a good pick for the Republicans as I feel he is a true statesman.
Today JM Bell e-mailed me and lovingly scolded me by reminding me that President Valentine was the guy who killed all day Kindergarten because of a joke that Governor Huntsman made about the Utah legislature at a dinner in Washington DC. What I haven't shared with Jeff or anyone else until now is that I actually have a great candidate for that seat if President Valentine were to suddenly move on.
Unfortunately due to time restraints I was unable to give Michael my best recommendation. If Senator Hatch is nominated by President Bush I think that it would be in Utah's best interest to appoint Congressman Jim Matheson as our next senator. Jim is Utah's best congressman with the highest approval ratings from our federal delegation, and quite frankly, Utah needs America, especially now that both the House and Senate are under Democratic control.
I want to thank Michael Castner and Ethan Millard for taking my call last night; Bob Aagard for not losing that loving feeling (to understand you need to check out Bob's blog), and to Congressman Jim Matheson and Jeff Bell for inspiring this post.
With every best wish,
The Utah Amicus
