Yeah this isn't a big deal. The current governer (Herbert) lost the convention vote 55-45 but won the primary by like 50 points.

Then the fact that it was only 50-49 Kennedy says something

Romney is still going to win the primary by overwhelming margins. I'd say by at least 40 percentage points.

I really hope Romney makes it because he's a Moderate voice for Republicans.

He’ll be fine. Mildly embarrassing, not fatal.

Still a bit surprising to me because Romney did rather well in GOP caucus states overall. But that was like, two or three Romneys ago.

Absolutely. That's why i was always adamantely against ANY conventions and caucuses, where, usually, a bunch of "activist idiots" nominate another (frequently - unelectable) idiot. In this case it may still be corrected in primary, but in lot of other (Democratic conventions in VA-05 come to mind immediately) - it's extremely difficult...

Romney will win the primary, obviously. This and Wyoming are currently the only two R-held seats I rate Likely R.

Shouldn't that be Safe R?

According to Treasurer, no GOP held seat is safe. He might be the biggest Dem hack on here despite not identifying as a Democrat.

Given the low but non-zero possibility that Trump will publicly meltdown - orders of magnitude beyond anything we've seen so far - and the GOP will continue to back him, I would agree that there are no 'Safe R' seats right now.

It does represent a problem with the Utah system is the convention is so out of step with voters. If things had been a little bit different with this relatively exclusive group, Kennedy might have got 60 percent.
