Excellent write-up on Utah's Dean Dozen and Dean cousin, Corroon.

SNIP..."The announcement this spring that Peter Corroon would seek the Salt Lake County mayor's seat ran as a brief in The Salt Lake Tribune - next to the obituaries with his name spelled wrong..."

SNIP..." Back then, observers could have argued it was fitting, that his candidacy would be dead on arrival. After all, he was a little-known Democrat running against a well-heeled incumbent Republican in a mostly Republican county.

"At that time, yes, it was like maybe he was tilting at windmills," says University of Utah political scientist Tim Chambless. "But, you know, now Peter Corroon has surfaced as probably the most likely candidate to win.."

SNIP..."Corroon hails from a small town in Connecticut. He was raised in a Republican home, assured, he often tells voters, that at least one Republican loves him: his mom.

"He has at least one famous cousin: former Vermont governor and one-time Democratic presidential candidate, Howard Dean. Stumping for Corroon in Salt Lake City this summer, Dean said the nation needs ordinary people with common sense - like his cousin - to be running government. "Politics is too important to be left to politicians."

I love the way Corroon said that he knew some Republicans liked him, his family in CT.
