The Utah Democrats are doomed and insignificant, as usual. Matheson's retirement announcement has sent them into even more a tizzy-fit, though. A lot of the money that he used was also used by legislative Dem campaigns. So while normally we might be able to pick up a state house or senate seat or two, we're probably going to lose one. Again. Senate Minority Leader Gene Davis's seat is particularly vulnerable, as he only won it by 2 points each in 2010 and 2006. Not sure if his seat has been changed much in redistricting.
We also have mostly terrible candidates, with a few exceptions. The Latino community is flexing their muscles, and they seem to field decent candidates. Of course, recruiting Democrats in Utah is mostly a crapshoot in any case.
