SALT LAKE CITY — Mitt Romney will again face a Kennedy in an election with a U.S. Senate seat on the line.
Not one of those Kennedys. (Romney lost to Ted Kennedy in the 1994 Senate race in Massachusetts.)
This is Mike Kennedy, a conservative state legislator from Alpine who outgunned Romney at the Utah Republican Party's state convention over the weekend, getting himself into a primary election June 26. Romney had already qualified for the ballot through signature gathering.
But who is this guy?
In short, Kennedy is a married father of eight children who works as a family doctor in Lindon. He said he grew up in poverty in a single-parent home. He earned an undergraduate degree from BYU and a medical degree at Michigan State University. He also has a law degree from BYU.
He has served in the Utah House since 2013, but decided in March to not seek re-election.
"As a physician, I'm a trained listener. As an attorney, I'm a trained advocate. And as a legislator, I found that by working together we can solve even our biggest problems," Kennedy said at Saturday's convention.

Kennedy may be “little known”. But that’s a huge advantage over Romney, who has made himself and his failings all too well known
How much does Mittens want to keep embarrassing himself? He and HRC can be the founding members of the “Also Rans’ Recovery Support Group”

Prepare For The Second Coming...
Mitt Romney - Born Again Conservative!
I thought Romney was already a “severe” conservative.
Is Mike too much of a fellow Mormon to bring out Mitt’s money laundering at Bain, etc?
we damn well better vet this guy before something horrifying comes tumbling out of his closet, a la roy moore.
Picture Romney and Kerry, together, in a Hardware store buying a hunting license.
Yeah, I couldn’t do it either.
too late. DJT endorsed romney just few days after he announced.
“Government is like fire.
If it is kept within bounds and
under the control of the people,
it contributes to the welfare of all.
But if it gets out of place,
if it gets too big and out of control,
it destroys the happiness
and even the lives of the people.” Harold Stassen
I know, but that was before this Utah thing and Romney is NOT the nominee.
Thanks for the Stassen quote-——an outlook much needed today.

I’d rather be “little known” than well known as a corrupt loser and choke artist.
Why anyone would want to vote for Romney, a guy who has failed at everything he has ever attempted in life, is a joke
Kennedy sounds reasonable.
But he put on a hell of an Olympics, or so he says.
Let's see the same results in the primary, only with a wider margin for Kennedy.
