1. Romney for the win. I have a sister that lives not too far from Mitt (walking distance) in Utah.

I would think Romney would win in a walk. He has political experience and is not hated in “liberal” Salt Lake City, like the polarizing Chaffetz (who is rumored to run for governor) and the rest of the state is nearly pure Red. Utah elected Mike Lee as Senator, and he is way to the right of Mitt.

If the Democrats threw their votes to McMullin, McMullin would have a great chance if Romney decided not to run and the GOP backed a lesser known candidate.

It is Romney’s seat if he wants it. He may be thinking of a legacy seat for one of his many offspring.
