Salt Lake Tribune: “Do Utah Democrats send a candidate to November’s ballot in the U.S. Senate race, which most likely extends the party’s five-decade-long losing streak? Or, should they compromise their values to make an uneasy alliance with a conservative candidate in hopes of denying Sen. Mike Lee another term in Washington?”
“Distilled to its essence, it is a choice between principles and practicality, and neither are particularly great choices for Utah’s minority party.”
