Arent was one of hundreds of Democrats who gathered at Skyline High School's cafeteria Tuesday where she heard Matheson's spokeswoman Alyson Heyrend address a hostile audience.

"There were angry voices raised last night against the congressman," Heyrend said. "This is personal for people. Jim gets it."
Matheson didn't attend any of the meetings personally because Congress was still in session, but he did get updates from his campaign and congressional staffs.

"I certainly respect the passion that is out there and the emotion around the health care issue," he told The Salt Lake Tribune on Wednesday. "It affects everyone so personally. I fully understand that passion."

He plans to counteract the anger the old fashioned way, by talking to those who feel aggrieved.

Wright, who attended the same meeting as Arent and Heyrend, left invigorated and optimistic about her chances.
"I had no idea there was this kind of groundswell," she said. "There was a lot of animosity against Mr. Matheson, particularly with how he voted against health care."

1. I hope that Karma is the bitch that I want it to be!

2. And, why oh why did he vote against it?

I expect more of the same towards my blue dog who voted NO. Wrong side Arcuri.

3. I voted for him. TWICE.

But hell, you should have seen his opponent. He's in trouble if the Dems turn on him.

4. Primaries are soon , right?

Maybe a better candidate will go against him and win.
