I'm not familar with UT-04 but why is Love having so much trouble in an R+14 district?
I know Jim Matheson represented this area for a number of years but he was a conservative Blue Dog who was basically the Democratic version of Lincoln Chafee.
Well, it's a Blue Dog friendly district in any case, and Love's opponent Doug Owens is another member of a Blue Dog political family (his father was Congressman Wayne Owens). He's a tiny bit to the left of Matheson, but is perceived as having basically the same political views.
LOL at Republicans who scream like banshees whenever Democrats bring up their appeals to racism to win votes now using it as an excuse for why Mia Love is vulnerable.
All the Japanese in Utah legislature/politics must be immune to such racism. I thought the same thing before, but I don't think that's a huge issue in Utah.
Yeah, there's 4 Japanese American legislators, (3 Republicans and one Democrat), 6 Hispanic legislators (all Democrats), 2 African-American legislators (one Democrat, one Republican), and one Jewish legislator (Democrat). There are also several candidates for state legislature who are minorities. Oh, and the GOP state chair is black and is a former state senator.
