Final: 2008 Utah State Republican Convention

In fact, one of the things that's turned me off about Leavitt's campaign is that it's been much more impersonal than campaigns I'm used to. Chuck Smith, running against Huntsman, gave a good speech and seems to have some good ideas, but he's not going to win.

2008 Utah State Republican Convention
Posted Saturday May 10, 2008, 12:31 am, Over one day old at Phil Windley's Technometria
I'm at the Utah State Party Convention this morning. The Utah Republican party has a set of banners up and buttons playing on the "i can" in "republican." Apparently Salt Lake county refused to seat him has a delegate and there was a motion to allow him to be seated at the State convention.

Are they so blind to that that they would seriously consider them part of the dream team? But if I had any inkling that any one of the people mentioned in the "dream team" were going to be part of the cabinet, he'd never get my vote and I think that's true of many.

True Grassroots Politics

I was conducting the meeting as Chair. I explained the four points of the pledge, why I thought they were important, and how while I don't believe that there's general corruption problem in Congress, that I do believe money changes things and we need to find ways to reduce its influence.

Utah Holds Caucuses Tonight: Change Congress
Posted Tuesday March 25, 2008, 1:36 am, Over one day old at Phil Windley's Technometria
Your voice is amplified many times over by being part of the process that decides who's on the ballot rather than just selecting from a few candidates in November. (If you're a member of a party other than these two, find your party Web site for caucus locations.)

Why Electronic Employment Verification Is a Bad Idea
Posted Wednesday March 19, 2008, 1:36 am, Over one day old at Phil Windley's Technometria
After all, if we just had a nice API call to make to determine whether or not to give jobs to people we could remove the magnet of lucrative jobs, right? Rather than solving the illegal immigration problem EEV will more likely simply increase the incidence of identity theft.
