| Mia Love: "We may be shaking hands, but I'm still after your job!" |
Even though she's hired a strategist for this new bid, call me skeptical about Sista Mia's prospects. If she couldn't beat the de facto incumbent in a newly-created district, a national atmosphere of high unemployment and women making political history plus then-presidential candidate Mitt Romney heading the ballot in their home state of Utah, then I don't see it happening for her in 2014 either. Granted, the Libertarian Party candidate snagged a small but critical percentage of the vote but still....From the Salt Lake Tribune, about the conservative Republican: "Saratoga Springs Mayor Mia Love says she’s
considering a rematch against Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson, whom she
lost to in November by just over 700 votes. 'We’re seriously looking at it again,' Love
told The Salt Lake Tribune in an interview before her appearance at the
Conservative Political Action Conference near Washington. Americans’ 'struggles haven’t gotten any better, the environment in Washington
hasn’t gotten any better.....We need people who are going to be
leaders, people who are going to do something about it.'"
