"No one in this field can beat Matheson if he runs for re-election."

"I only know about Cherylin Eagar and David Clark. God help us, whoever it is!"

"It is too early to even guess."

"Dave Clark has a strong base in Southern Utah and has the business background (i.e., "he's not a wild-eyed loon") that will resonate with Northern Utah voters."

"This is the race Dan Liljuenquist should be in. He would be effective much more quickly in the right committees in the house rather than in the old folks home we refer to as the Senate."

"Who the hell are most of these people?"

"I would always have said Matheson, but with the redistricting, I think it will be a Republican..."

"Matheson could beat any Republican on the list of potential candidates, except Dave Clark. If someone other than Dave Clark wins the GOP nomination, then Matheson will have a good chance of winning."

"If Morgan Philpot can get that close, imagine what someone with a competent campaign can do."

"Matheson will be "retired" this cycle regardless of what office he seeks."

"Matheson will not run for Congress. With Obama at the top of the ticket in a more conservative district = no chance. Too bad he doesn't recognize that his race for Governor equates the same result."

"Matheson is in a new district that won't be easy for him to win. Combine that with a possible ballot with Mitt Romney at the top and this is the year Matheson will lose his race, regardless of what he runs for."

"Matheson will run in the 4th District. This will clear the way for Rep. Clark to take the 2nd District seat, and spare us the spectre of a Congressman Wimmer."
