Dick's endrosement

The state Democratic party sent out a bit last week proclaiming Dick Nourse's support of U.S. House District 3 candidate Bennion Spencer. The two go way back apparently and Bennion has a journalism background, though I'm not sure how that ties in with Nourse. I mean, the guy's got a voice that makes me go weak in the knees and he's got that whole reading off the teleprompter thing down better than anyone this side of Kent Brockman. But journalism?

Questions of definition aside, Nourse has this to say about Spencer: “He is trained to deal with the truth and the facts,” Nourse said. “Gas prices are destroying family budgets. The middle class is being squeezed out of existence. Our schools are overcrowded. Our borders are like sieves. And after billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, all we know about homeland security is that at airports you have to take your shoes off and throw away your toothpaste. All of these are issues … [important to] my friend Bennion Spencer.”

One last thing, I'm pretty sure Nourse lives in St. George. That would be in the 2nd Congressional District. He's not exactly pulling a Chaffetz (damn you Firefox 3 RC1 for screwing up the linking system) but crossing district lines has never much endeared voters who tend to be rather possesive of their candidates.

That being said, a guy who has been a household fixture in most Utahns' homes for nearly five decades might have some sort of influence. Even if it's a Democrat.
