10.25 in 1:16. Did the last couple miles on the Highland High track and the cushiness felt good on my ageing legs.

I have decided not to support Donald Trump. I know everyone was wondering.

Thanks for clearing that up, Huckabee fan are you?

Your support may just sway the vote.

That's lack of support Burt. Anyways, I live in Utah where there is NEVER any mystery to any election.

Hmmmm... I wonder if Romney will win the Utah primary?

What about former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, the U.S. ambassador to China? My GOP sources (newspaper) tell me he's exploring the possibility of a run...

I actually really liked Huntsman. One might assume that because he is LDS and a former two term Governor of Utah that he would do quite well here.

It is doubtful that Huntsman could win a state wide race here now. Towards the end of his term he was an outspoken supporter of gay rights - even openly supporting civil unions. Signed on to the Western Climate Initiative. All positions that annoyed Republican activists here in Utah.

But he is bright, capable, and has a rare combination of experience. Also, lots of money.
