Jacob's bad luck: Is it . . . Satan?
Bedeviled: His business deals have been delayed, keeping him from fully funding his campaign
This was one of the above the fold stories in today’s Salt Lake Tribune. Rep. Chris Cannon from Utah’s deeply Republican congressional Third District is facing a difficult primary challenge this year from local businessman John Jacobs. This election has essentially become a referendum on President Bush’s election policy with Rep. Cannon supporting the guest worker program and Jacobs essentially advocating mass deportation of all illegal aliens. Jacobs has raised a strong challenge by capitalizing on the jingoistic (dare I say racist?) tendencies of rural Utahns.
Additionally, one of my friends is employed by the Jacobs campaign. Now despite the fact that we’re friends, there are few things I enjoy more than watching this guy twist in the wind… and today his boss delivered a great little gift to me in the form of this article in which he rants that the Devil is actively opposing his bid for Congress. Apparently Jacobs presence in Congress would so confound Satan’s work that the Prince of Darkness is causing the businesses owned by Jacobs to suffer. It couldn’t be that this guy is simply out of his league and is reaping the consequences of his overreaching.
I love it. Now to work out exactly the right vehicle to torment my campaign working friend… hee hee hee.
