Can you feel the (Mia) Love?

[hgc]

Utah's not particularly Democratic, why is it a surprise that a Republican might win in a red state?

Did you read the OP before posting that? Just curious.

I saw her promo video. She's a talented politician. Very personable. Too bad she seems to be a far right winger (Gun owner! Conservative!) but I can certainly see the appeal. Good for her.

Gun owner does not equal bad.

Not all of us are Ted Nugent. Some of us even wear neckties.

Or Leftyseargent.

Lefty's got his...quirks...but one thing he doesn't do is make gun owners look bad. I'm pretty sure that when he packs, he packs legally.

He's no Nuge, anyway, that much is for sure.

"Mia Love won the GOP nomination for the 4th Congressional District race Saturday at the Utah Republican Convention, scoring a major upset after wowing the crowd with a roof-raising speech at the South Towne Expo Center in Sandy.The daughter of Haitian immigrants, Mrs. Love took 70.4 percent of the delegate vote, well in excess of the 60 percent required to avoid a primary runoff under Utah’s unique rules. She defeated former state legislator Carl Wimmer, who had been viewed as the heavy favorite. He mustered only 29.6 percent of the vote.
If Mrs. Love, 37, defeats her Democratic opponent, Rep. Jim Matheson, she will become the first black Republican woman to serve in the House."

Love for President?

I would suggest reading transcripts of what the lady writes and thinks. Don't giver her plus marks for race, sex, or looks.

Having done this a while back, I was impressed.

Or to put it another way: Don't allow the US population to make another Bamster style mistake, whether for a conservative or a liberal, in which a media image is supplanted with a pretty face and resonating voice, and in which the reality is quite different than the presentation.

I think I probably said that right.

That was on her video. She was showing off all of her positive attributes and across the screen you saw "Mayor, Mom, Gun Owner, Conservative".

I just thought that was wingnutty. It's not wingnutty to own a gun, per se. But when you put that on your CV, yeah, you're a Teabagger.

Thanks for this.

I wasn't trying to pull your card or anything, just letting you know we're not all bad.

I don't own one now, but growing up lots of my older friends had them and we'd go to the shooting area in the Tujunga hills and shoot junk. I had loads of fun. I don't think owning a gun makes you a winger. I think owning LOTS of guns might, and making your gun an important part of your life and a reason to vote for you certainly does.

See that? Wingnut!

The real criminal here is the guy that sold him that suit.

I'm sorry. So, so sorry.

I think this is proof that rational Republicans can actually be liked by Democrats. At least what I have heard of her to date says she could become a real political force.

I doubt she'd fit into the current GOP.

For most jobs that's not something you would put on your CV. When you are running for office in red state America, you just might do that. It's shorthand for "I support gun rights."

Now come on. We all know it just depends on how totally cool they are.

Sean Penn and Dianne Feinstein are two well known liberal gun owners. They're not just for conservatives!
