Despite disagreements, Matheson reluctantly backs Obama.

All 4 of UT's GOP Members "have now endorsed" ex-MA Gov. Mitt Romney (R) for president, "so what about Rep. Jim Matheson (D)"? Matheson: "Yeah, I'm going to vote for the president. I've had many issues where I've disagreed with him, and people are aware of that. And as a congressman my mantra is to put Utah first, but in this election, that's who I'm going to vote for."
"That's a winning endorsement" for Obama "if we've ever heard one" (Burr, Salt Lake Tribune, 4/2).
We Have A Wimmer!
AG Mark Shurtleff (R) endorsed ex-state Rep. Carl Wimmer (R) in a statement on April 2. "He called Wimmer an excellent legislator and the candidate best prepared to represent" CD-04. Shurtleff: "I have worked with Carl on several major pieces of legislation, including strengthening laws against child predators. His work has been invaluable in our fight against Obamacare" (Romboy, Desert News, 4/2).
