West Valley City • The outcome of the marquee contest for the U.S. Senate ended up in a shocker, with state Rep. Michael Kennedy upsetting superstar Mitt Romney, 51 percent to 49 percent.
“He’s following the Hillary Clinton playbook … moving to a state where he thinks he can get elected,” Howard said. “He’s not a Utahn. I’m a lifelong Utahn. I want somebody who has grown up here and understands the issues. He’s a carpetbagger.”
“Mitt is a Democrat,” said Lloyd Dauer of Layton, who said he went to a Romney event where the candidate essentially said that, now he’s in Utah, he’ll act like Utahns want him to act.
