Mark Shurtleff has admitted that he is considering challenging Bennett for the GOP nomination for the Senate in 2010. It may iffy at this time, but to me it is significant. Why? Because it is only February of 2009. And the state Attorney General is the 3rd ranking state officer in Utah. It is significant that such a high-ranking Utah Republican is putting his name out so early in the cycle. This sort of thing doesn't happen until November-December.
It is just another sign that it is time for Mr Bennett to retire.
