All we have in the midterms are House races.  No Governor, No Senate, No President.  We'll have to wait for 2016 for Sen. Mike Lee to come up for re-election and the Governor's race to come back.  What's a political junkie to do?

All I can hope for is that Matheson wins this year, so we can have another competitive and nasty House race again in 2014.

Uh, every year is a boring year for Utah.

This is (sadly) true.

 The only exciting race in 2014 will be Utah's 4th congressional district, simply because the Republican-with-a-D Jim Matheson will be in it.

Though speaking of Matheson, I have a feeling he'll finally be beaten in 2014; like 2010, it'll be an off-year where no one will care but the already politically active (of which a majority in Utah are conservatives), and unlike 2010, Matheson will have an exhausted and unenthusiastic Democratic support wing, and won't have the advantage of a relatively fair district map.

To be honest, Utah will be predictable for a while, especially since it's not even close to minority majority population like the other Southwestern conservative states.

Because usually, there is so much suspense in UT statewide races!

That's why it's great living in a state where there is guaranteed to be some type of election every two years, like states with governors up for reelection in even numbered years not evenly divisible by four. Presidential election one year, governor election two years later, Presidential election two years later...
