Salt Lake Tribune: Donna McAleer Again Running Against Rep. Rob Bishop

As to candidates Clemens and McAleer... Too bad we can't choose them both

Good news for the beleaguered voters of  Northern Utah's Congressional District One, as we learn that another Democratic Party candidate, one fairly  familiar to us, i.e., Donna McAleer, has again thrown her hat into the ring, with an intent to unseat Republican Congessman-for life, Rob Bishop in the 2014 1st Congressional District race
With Ogden's own Peter Clemens also already having declared his own 2014 Congressional District 1 candidacy, it looks like the Utah Democratic Party has some tough nomination decisions to make.

Seems that incumbent District 1 Congressmman Rob Bishop has caught signifiicant heat locally, due to his lemming-like support of this week's Republican Party-borne U.S. government shut-down, by the way, in connection with yesterday's Ogden protest, outside Rob Bishop's "vacant" Ogden Federal Building Office:

First question: "will any of this 'stick?'" Sodden question #1:  Once U.S. House representatives such as Congressman Bishop ultimately back down from their bizarre political stance, by which they've taken America hostage, by shutting U.S. government down,  will Northern Utah voters still remember remember who was responsible for this idiotic and ill-conceived political stunt?
Sodden question #2:  Would even a re-incarnated Joseph Smith (or maybe even Bringem Young) be capable of "winning" the 1st District Congressional race against our GOP-entrenched Mormon "Bishop," for instance, if either of them might hypothetically  ran as a Democrat? So many questions... so few answers. As to candidates Clemens and McAleer... let the best of them win the Demo nomination.

Too bad we can't choose them both.
