Shurtless rocks!
That twitter was no accident by the AG. Imagine, 45 minutes before the 5 o'clock news and his twitter gets sent to some 2,000 followers?
And by coincidence it happened the same day that a potential co-challenger also twittered that he was running. Yeah, right. Accidental.
Wow, Shurtleff's egotistical opinion of himself couldn't handle that Bridgewater was getting all the attention while he was out on his trip to Israel. Nobody is sure why the AG went on this trip other than to spend taxpayer money, but still Shurtleff gets jealous from halfway around the world- Good to know!
It's just stunt after political stunt with Shurtleff and he has totally lost my respect. If it was just an "accident" as he claims than clearly he is not competant. Either way, he will not be getting my vote at the Convention.
Do we really want to vote for a guy who can't even handle his Tweets? As a delegate this does not inspire confidence in Shurtleff!
2 morons taking on a moron. Go Dems!
This is a good example of what Shurtleff is all about--and it does not bode well for Utah if he becomes senator. I'm disenchanted with Bennett, but there's little doubt that Shurtleff does not offer anything better.
Is someeone trying to get a rise on here?
I for one look forward to a spirited race here, something lacking in the past.
I would love to have anybody take Bob Bennett's place! He should have been replaced along time ago! He hasn't done much to help anybody here at all! I would vote for Mickey Mouse to get rid of Bennett.
I've worked with Shurtleff and would not vote for him.
Shurtleff: a perfect example of a politician with no credentials or qualifications - just all talk and opinions. Mr Ego.
I won't argue with "Ugh", but doesn't the same apply even more to Jason (Mr. Look at Me!) C. in the 3rd District? While Bennett did not keep his promise on self-imposed term limits, he is actually a pretty good Senator. It would take a newcomer many years to help Utah as much as he can in a Congress that is controlled by the Dems and will remain so for a while, in part because the GOP messed it up big time, provide no ideas and are rudderless.
Mark Shurtleff is the attorney general of the state of Utah, having won three elections to serve in that office. I would consider that a credential and/or qualification to serve as US senator for the state. Many here are saying they would not vote for the man and I would like to hear some specifics. What is it that he has done or not done that disqualifies him to be US Senator?
Mark Shurtleff is off wasting tax payers money on a trip that no AG should have went on and with Bridgewater taking advantage of his absence, Shurtleff couldn't handle that he was out of the spotlight.
I still remember when Shurtleff was Salt Lake County Commissioner. He left us with higher taxes and more debt and the county was in shambles. Shurtleff will not be getting my vote and Bennett seems to be the best in the race.
Mark Shurtleff is one of my all time favorites! I have no doubt he would be an amazing Senator. I do not think Mark Shurtleff would be anyone I'd want for an opponent.
I also think Mark Shurtleff would immediately make a difference in the Senate even without seniority. It's his very presence that commands respect.
I have nothing against Bob Bennett. He is a good man and a good Senator. The only one I would cast my delegate vote for over Shurtleff is a heavenly being.
Come on... is this the best we can do?
Hey Mark Shurtleff, I thought you learned your lesson from your tweeting escapades...apparently not because here you are commenting about yourself on the DesNews comment board!
Check out the story on RedState. He's got a history of messing things up.
Here's to hoping the Dems guy/gal is better...chances are he/she will be.
So Mr. Shurtleff is running for the Senate? This doesn't sound like a very auspicious beginning to a campaign--especially for a man who's generally so adept at promoting himself.
