'Super Dell' files to run against Corroon'

Oh, please! A good Republican needs to step forward to prevent this doofus from somehow becoming the face of local Republicans.

I will be running for county mayor too..."THANK YOU!"

While I think Carroon has dome a pretty good job (and I's a hardcore Republican!), this is a pretty biased hatchet job on Schanze.

While mentioning, indeed highlighting, all of Schanze's idiosyncratic (and even annoying) behavior you failed to mention that he was a very successful business man. And the photo you selected.... bet we never see any unflattering shots of the incumbent.

Let's leave the hit pieces on the editorial page and try to get a bit more fair and balanced coverage in what purports to be a news story.

Still, the entire notion of a Mayor Super Dell is a bit amusing.

Heaven Help SL County!

I hope people aren't fooled by this self-absorbed, arrogant, dangerous, reckless person. Just because someone has more money than brains doesn't mean you should vote for him.

So Salt Lake will continue to be the nut capital of America? We endured Rocky for years but he finally retreated into the shadows somewhere and now this devil wants to spend the summer in the company of his angels -- don't blame me, that's what he calls the media and he wants to be boss. Why doesn't he fly south -- I mean, isn't that where the state has a hospital for such cases? Or are they full? Fly away -- far far away.

Irish AND Super Dell!?! This going to be the Best! Race! Ever!

What a joke. "It's too bad that all of the media in Utah are liars and murderers." Too bad the paper had to waste its time (and ours) by giving this guy a few more minutes of fame.

This is the best political news EVER....

Doesn't he realize what he's putting his family through with his increasingly embarrassing stunts? Dell -- think about your wife and kids for once and stop trying to feed your ego.

The sad thing is that each of these will have lots of support for their far-right politics.

The face of Utah Republicans hasn't changed a bit; it's just coming out of the closet. If Buttars didn't have support for his racism AND his behind-the-scenes activities (critizing a judge for not supporting his friend?), he wouldn't be there.

I fail to see why Super Dell is any worse.

The sad thing is Super Dell actually has a chance since he is running as a 'publican.

Ha!! Heee! Ha HA!

Most of the democrats in Utah live in SL county. That's why we never have a republican mayor. And I'm sooo glad the right wing mormons never get win. I hope Dumb Dell looses. This guy is a moron. It wasn't the media who made his business go down it was him. Are his in-laws going to fund his race too??

Who do you think would be more pro guns, Super Dell or the Utah Legislature?

I am a Republican but I have nothing but scorn for someone who has so little respect for his neighbors and their children that he or she would constantly speed through a residential area. That is one of my biggest pet peeves and half the time the speeders are jawjacking on a cell phone.
Maybe that should be his number one public policy agenda: stop residential speeders ( I'm not talking about 3mph over the speed limit!) I'm talking about 45 mph and higher in a 25mph zone.

This is the best james evans can do. If this is the bes james could do then it's going to be one of funniedt campaigns ever.

While I too have nothing but scorn for Dell, I have to say I am surprised by the hateful stereotypes revealed in the above comments. Dell is not the face of Republicans, neither is Buttars. The truth is most of us "right-wing mormons" are disgusted with both of them. Thanks for the judgemental attitudes though...

John --

He was such a great business man? You mean the business where his own employees sued the life out of the company before it collapsed?

The one that reneged on its own insurance policies after selling over-priced, under-performing machines?

Indeed. Excellent business.

John: there is nothing amusing about dell running for office. He neeeds money to pay for his Beamer's... woops, reposesed vehicles.

The man is a 'laughing stock', which is why he is out of business.

His morals were displayed in his continuous press commentaries that made him more of a joke in his contempt for any who would speak against him.
