Jim Matheson has been the Harry Houdini of modern politics, a Democrat surviving in a heavily Republican Utah district which became even more Republican after the 2010 redistricting.
But he still beat Mia Love in 2012. By a few hundred votes. In Utah. With Romney at the top of the ticket.
Mathes...

One of the biggest electoral scams in the country is being run by Jim Matheson in Utah-04 against Mia B. Love.

The Love Bomb now has surpassed $200,000.
This provides an enormous boost to Mia Love’s campaign as it provides cash to fund the type of local effort that outside groups cannot by law do. It still leaves her with only half the cash on hand as Democrat Jim Matheson. The publicity from her RNC...

Mia B. Love appeared on MSNBC today, and it was a pretty fair segment.
As noted here before, while Jim Matheson is beatable, it’s not going to be easy. Matheson falsely portrays himself as a moderate.
That “outside money” rolling in mentioned at the end will not pay the campaign bills, so she...
I guess Democratic Congressman Jim Matheson running against Mia Love in the new Utah-04 district is a moderate compared to Nancy Pelosi. His claim to moderation is that on a small number of key votes he has voted against his party, but not when his vote mattered.
Matheson was one of almost three dozen...
