And his hand picked welcome people only added to the crap that presently exudes republican morals and values. It was neat being able to meet your wife. I will be with you in Brigham City. Pete,

It was neat being able to meet your wife.

I will be with you in Brigham City.

I can agree that inviting Cindy Sheehan is more controversial and possibly not a "strategic" thing to do, but about what Cindy Sheehan says, I agree completely. I lost a brother in the Air Force in 1963. There is no pain like it. One of my points of loathing for the current administration is that that coward would not speak to her. Why didn't he get in his pickup truck and drive down to her camp and speak to her? She would be a non-issue now. But it wasn't strategically wise from a Republican viewpoint. You've let the opposition party frame Cindy Sheehan. You've let Rove silence a voice that speaks for mothers and sisters who have lost someone in a senseless war. Damn, I love Rocky. utahgirl I tried to post to Steve’s website, but blogger hates Netscape.

As I told Pete a few weeks ago (our paths cross quite often these days), there is no one in the state that I admire and respect more than Pete Ashdown. To sacrifice two years of your life away from your business and your young family, together with a significant infusion of your own finances, to honestly try to rescue our citizens from one of the most clueless men in America, is a remarkable thing. This is especially true since it's probably one of the most thankless job around. Although Pete trails in the polls, I'm optimistic that when Utahns see Pete and Orrin side by side in the televised debates, the contrast between those two guys will be so striking that the Utahns will rally to what has to be the most obvious choice in America this year in any Senate race. Thanks for everything you do for all of us, Pete! Steve This guy is THE MAN!
