SandBoxUtah: The Hill/Ballot Box "Hatch falls just short at Utah GOP convention, will face primary"
Cameron Joseph:
"Sen. Orrin Hatch fell just short of an outright victory at the Utah Republican convention, meaning he will face a primary to secure the GOP nomination for his own Senate seat.
Hatch finished the second round of balloting with 59.1 percent of the vote, tantalizingly close to the 60 percent threshold he needed to lock up his party's nomination at the convention.
He'll face former state Sen. Dan Liljenquist (R) in a primary, a race in which he starts off with a big edge in money and in the polls...." (Read more? Click title)

SandBox Utah: Deseret News "Campaigns to focus on 16 states in the race to 270"
Now that Mitt Romney has the majority of conservatives in a less than lukewarm bliss over his presumptive nomination...it's time to focus on the barn burners that all senate and congressional races are sure to be.
So many open seats on both sides of the aisle with a heavy sprinkle of key power points open for the taking; there is a great deal the average voter needs to get up to informed status on.
Instead of flipping on the TV every night, take an evening or two during the week, hop online and see what folks are just sayin all over the country. I think you would be surprised at how much we all have in common out here.
Thomas Beaumont:
"President Barack Obama begins his re-election campaign defending traditionally Republican territory that he carried when he won the White House four years ago. Republican Mitt Romney is looking to reclaim any combination of these GOP strongholds now in flux.
In the months leading to the Nov. 6 election, both men will talk about how they will galvanize the nation. But in reality, they will lavish travel, advertising and staff on only a dozen states, and even fewer as the vote nears.
The political spotlight will shine brightly again on Florida, and the Upper Midwest, especially Ohio. But changes in the nation's demographics will mean heavy attention paid to the Mid-Atlantic and Southwest...."

SandBox Utah: Salt Lake Tribune "Romney tells NRA that Obama wants to curtail gun owners’ rights "
Charles Babington:
"St. Louis • The presidential campaign briefly veered from the emotional Mommy Wars on Friday to the back-burner issue of gun rights, with Mitt Romney telling the National Rifle Association that President Barack Obama is not protecting gun owners — even though the topic has rarely arisen during his time in office.

SandBox Utah: Deseret News "Decision 2012: Utah political races, candidate and delegate information, coverage"
Deseret News"
"Candidates from political parties running in major races will be nominated in the coming days, as some 4,000 Republican delegates and 2,700 Democratic delegates will decide which candidates advance — and which, if any, will face a primary run-off election in June, the next opportunity for every Utah voter to participate.
While some county conventions have convened since last month, where delegates are narrowing the field of candidates running for county offices and most state House and Senate seats, Salt Lake and Utah Counties hold conventions Saturday, April 14. State delegates will attend their respective party's state conventions to choose candidates for federal and statewide offices like governor. Both the Democratic and Republican state conventions are scheduled for April 21...." (Read more? Click title)
