Aryln Bradshaw, Mark Towner and Brian Moss address the Senate District 2 delegates

The Senate District 2 special election to replace State Senator Scott McCoy brought forth four great candidates.  David Miller asked in a comment, "How were the speeches?"  I have tried to get in touch with the other three candidates, but since the videos of their speeches are already on YouTube.com, I thought I would share them with you, here.

THANK YOU FOR RUNNING! 

You are all great candidates!

Open Arms

I was elected a County and State Delegate last night

This is my first post on what hopefully will be a daily basis. I want to share my experiences of the past several days and last night caucus. As many of you know from the media, I resigned my positions with the State and County Republican party nearly two years ago. I have been registered as unaffiliated since then. Having never attended a Democrat caucus before I thought it might be interesting to meet my friends and neighbors that are active Democrats. [More]

Courage

Dear Utah Bloggers,

I want to apologize. I had completely gone off the deep end. But in this case it was a blogger who attacked me, instead of the message. Nobody really likes their personal life attacked, what they do for a living questioned, their education or lack thereof challenged.

When someone accuses you of being a thief, well I just lost it. It's not often, but when it happens, look out. As a completive player and coach I got rejected many a time, to the horror of my family and friends. Time solves most things, and usually I come back to earth totally embarrassed.

I apologize to you and your blog readers for not being a perfect person, I have many good qualities, but this is not one of them.

Respectfully,


Mark E. Towner,

Political Spyglass: Todd D. Weiler says:

Show respect for vice presidency

Although Cheney's selection has been divisive, it has also facilitated a thoughtful debate about his career and the war in Iraq -- which is precisely what an academic institution is suppose to do. This exchange of opinions would not have occurred if the university had invited a church official or some unknown academic egghead.

Academic egghead?
