Probably figured he didn't have much of a chance. Even him beating Lee would have required an utter democratic tsunami.

I'm not surprised.  But I don't think Matheson could have made Utah races competitive anyway.

^ Well, Matheson was the only Democratic who could move either race out of the Likely/Safe R category Tongue

Does becoming a lobbyist automatically mean he's not going to run for more political offices?

Generally it means you traded your years of political capital for a high paying job.

Matheson was the only hope the democrats had of winning. Lee may be unpopular, but at the end of the day, utah voters will choose a far-right republican over all non-matheson utah democrats.

I was sorta hoping he'd pull a "2014 Travis Childers" and run on the basis that the Republican nominee might be extremely weak. Ah well.

Lee would win by at least 20 against any Democrat.
