Utah Congressional Candidate Mia Love Joins ‘Wilkow!’

Oct. 2, 2012 11:30pm Christopher Santarelli

One of the biggest stars to come to light on the national stage during this year’s Republican National Convention was Utah congressional candidate Mia Love, who delivered one of the most well-received speeches of the event. Since August, Love has continued to ascend in national prominence as she attempts to unseat six-term Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson. The latest polling shows the Saratoga Springs mayor to have overcome a double-digit deficit and now finds herself up six points over the incumbent.

If elected, Love would be the first black female, Republican elected to Congress. This prospect has brought both excitement and intolerance, as Love has received racist photos featuring the KKK at her campaign office. The DCCC has come out and actually issued a disclaimer in this race, encouraging attacks on Love’s budget rather than spending and tying her to Romney and Ryan since her district is largely conservative.

Watch Love’s appearance on TheBlaze TV Tuesday:

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

After the RNC it was amazing to see the response as people, like myself, contributed to her campaign. I was glad to see that she had touched so many people in such a short time. Alot of the attention is on the presidential race but I pray that Mia and other conservatives win their battles and make a difference in Congress. We have to have more true conservatives in Congress to move it out of the swamp its in.

Mia is awesome. I just watched this segment. And it is nice to have an adult running for office. Keep up the good work.

I’m not in Mia’s district, but I see the ads that her opponent runs against her. He is a liar just as demonic as Obama. It says something very fundamental about him.

Aside from the fact that Mia Love is very intelligent, would it be sexist of me to point out her beauty?

Hehehe, as if I cared what someone else thinks of my opinion of intelligent and beautiful women!

everyone here has just glossed over this interview, the question here is.

Why did Saratoga Springs, Utah Inc. (incorporate) in 1997? What where the benefits? What are the negatives? What were they before they Inc.orporated?

  “Lovebringstruth” — great moniker for this story.
  I do not, however, see how your questions really relate to Mia Love’s bid to be the Congresswoman for the 4th District of Utah.
  As far as I know, the land that is now Saratoga Springs was an unincorporated area of Utah County. The area had seen a lot of population growth, so the folks living there wanted to incorporate as a city. So they did. Am I missing something?

  lostbearings;
  
  What does Mia Love have to do with incorporation. If you have some ‘dirt’, why not just come out and say it.

What an inspiring lady!! So thankful for her positive attitude and unwavering committment to what she believes in-a better America.

And is she whining? NO!!! And she’s on her own-no NAACP, no ACLU, no NOW, no Joy, Whoopi, Nancy Pelosi, or Barbara Boxer in her corner offering any support. Let’s ya know who they really are doesn’t it?

Mia Love! This women embodies the word “Lady” in every sense of the word. She is Beautiful beyond words, intelligent to the point of being a genus, articulate, full of fire and passion, loves life. I can easily see this extremely smart Conservative Republican not only being the very first Black Female Republican elected to Congress but look out because she could easily be the very first Black Conservative Republican to be President of the United States

  Absolutely correct. She’s going places as long as the RINO’s don’t co-opt her. I believe she’s smarter than that.
