As I have posted many times recently, I no longer am a registered Republican. Utah Republicans will blindly vote for Mitt Romney on Feb 5th, so what are we unaffiliated voters to do. Well I plan on voting for Obama, and I encourage as many other unaffiliated voters to do the same. I would love to see the National media explain how those white bread Mormon bigots could actually support an African American for President of the United States.
Now about McCain, If Rudy fails to win Florida his campaign is over, and it's the McCain express to the nomination. If McCain wins the nomination, he wins the election. America is not ready to elect Hillary or Obama. Mitt as vice president would be his way to the White House in 4-8 years, otherwise it's back to corporate America.
But what would happen in Utah if McCain were elected President? Governor Huntsman would be either Secretary of State or ambassador to China, and our Attorney General would be the next US Attorney General. This would allow Gary Herbert to become the Governor (he really is running the State already), and move another Utah County party leader into his seat, likely Bramble. The GOP party would likely replace Mark Shurtliff with Salt Lake County District Attorney Lora Miller.
John Valentine and Mike Leavitt will seek the US Senate nomination in 2010 when Bob Bennett elects not to run, after a internal state delegate poll tells him he would likely be defeated in convention. Hatch will also retire in 2012 for the same reason.
