So which one is more of nutjob?

IMO, Mike Lee

Yes.

Between the two of them, they've raised less than $1 million, so this is really a bargain of a Senate seat.

This, although they both seem pretty sane, comparatively. Neither is any sort of Sharron Angle. Bridgewater just happens to come across as the more intelligent, well-spoken one. And he's Tea Party endorsed, go figure.

Lunar says Bridgewater comes across as Sarah Palin-esque.

So Bridgewater is the major teabagger? I'd imagine that they both have significant teabagger support, no?

That is because Bridgewater comes across as a dumb. Lee is much better spoken, as if he actually reads stuff from time to time.

I dont know much about the race, but Lee is the demint backed candidate. Also at the convention, I believe most of Bennett's support went to Bridgewater.

Actually, Bennett supported Bridgewater.

Yup.  Lee comes across as a guy who could actually give the rebuttal to a State of the Union address, while when Bridgewater speaks, he really just spews every word that comes into his head.

Bridgewater is the establishment-backed candidate, while Lee is more of the netroots insurgent. 

[Eraserhead]

Hmm, sounds like I'll be pulling for Bridgewater.
