Gary Herbert, John Valentine and Lane Beattie will spend part of the summer plotting their 2012 gubernatorial campaigns. Sure, it's early. But these guys are anxious!

• With an intense campaign ahead, the activists on both sides of the voucher issue won't be taking a break. But they will hone their campaign techniques and skills by watching the entire set of "The Sopranos" reruns.


Republican LaVarr Webb was policy deputy to Gov. Mike Leavitt and Deseret News managing editor. He now is a political consultant and lobbyist. E-mail: lwebb@exoro.com. Democrat Frank Pignanelli is Salt Lake attorney, lobbyist and political adviser. A former candidate for Salt Lake mayor, he served 10 years in the Utah House of Representatives, six years as House minority leader. Pignanelli's spouse, D'Arcy Dixon Pignanelli, is a Utah state tax commissioner appointed by Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. She was the Democratic nominee for state treasurer in 1996.
