I blogged that this was happening, and now it’s happened. I liked David’s Garber’s summary of the Utah GOP’s delegate bait and switch so much that I got permission to post it its entirety:

It’s official! This morning, by a vote of 70 supporters to 12 opponents, Utah’s state Republican Party’s Central Committee voted to adopt [...]

I had the opportunity to see the Cannon, Leavitt, and Chaffetz campaign speeches at both the Utah County and Utah State Republican Conventions.

News and updates on the conference have been plastered all over Gabe’s excellent Utah Open Source Planet, but I thought I’d post a reminder [...]

If you’re a Utah entrepreneur or [...]
