This poll from the Daily Kos shows him running poorly against Sen. Robert Bennett in a theoretical matchup. In case you were wondering, Daily Kos claims Ken is a Democrat, but we have reason to believe Ken is actually an Independent. My question is: why is Ken even being mentioned? Has he said he will enter Utah politics? I did some Googling and could find no announcement that he was being recruited or wanted to test the political waters. Is it that difficult to find a Democrat in Utah (Geoff B asked rhetorically)?
Just as I was about to press “publish” I saw a post from Ken Jennings today on his blog saying he will not run for this U.S. Senate seat. You can read it here. Ken claims he will not run so he can “spend more time with my family. (And when I say “with my family,” I mean, “screwing around on the Internet.”)” Sounds like a non-denial denial to me. (Just kidding, Ken).
