Don't sell yourself short Zioneer. I'm a long-time lurker, and political differences aside, you provide a lot of info that normally falls through the cracks and would otherwise go unnoticed.
Oh, I always sell myself short. It's what I do.
But though I do think I know more than most non-Utahns do about Utah politics, it's mostly just keeping up and checking the news sites, and having a couple of liberal insider friends. Also having access to the precinct/elections info for Salt Lake County, where the only semi-competitive politics in the entire state happens helps.
Anyway, I actually personally know three of the candidates for the open Dem seats, and it'll be interesting to see if they get in.
