So the Utah primary is coming up and I want to give my insight for what it's worth.
When I first listened to the candidates I thought Mike Lee and Bridgewater seemed to be good choices. Mike Lee went on to continue to impress me and Bridgewater has not done anything that has made me feel he'd be the right choice.
The way I see it... Bridgewater would be my choice for a partner on a strategy board game (We'd have fun, be friends and win the board game) and Mike Lee would be my choice for the next senator.
(My ramblings below)
Here are some other experiences I was able to gather about the man of the hour.
From the main blog that started our insight into the man that "runs" our senate
1. "I am sorry you had to endure this. He is an intimidating public figure,..." NoCarnations

"I used to work in a high end steak house in downtown Salt Lake. I had a run in with Mr. Bramble who was quite upset that I didn't know 'who he is.' I was his server and when he wasn't happy with some of his food I offered to replace it with something he would like. He became upset that I didn't offer free dessert also (which was funny because a lobbiest was flipping the bill.) He left in a huff stating that I had been 'snide, and didn't even offer a free desert. He obviously doesn't know who I am.' The guy was a total jerk and about as arrogant as it gets. What is funny is at the restaurant I had served the Governor, and U.S senators and celebrities and none were so arrogant or rude as the state majority leader (Bramble)."

"I had a very similar experience with Mr. Bramble about 17 years ago while working for a jewelry store. I guess some things or people never change."

"When I saw this story on the news, I immediately knew that this was the same guy who had come into my dad's office and done pretty much the same thing. He thought everyone was out to rip him off, everyone was incompetent, and his title as "senate majority leader" excused his behavior. I am definitely with you on not supporting him the next time he runs for office."
Here's what's been going on in the Bramble Pizza Situation and the places it's been going on.

Mick Hagen saw some messages and decided to chime in as well - His Blog
Some Utah Democrat chimes in (obviously onsided) on his blog here and here
Another Blog "Salt Blog" chimes in
UPDATE
DailyKos is now covering it... all comments on the blog seem to be a bunch of frenzied democrats just trashing Repulicans. If you like that sort of irresponsibly behavior check it out.
Digg - poorly written title, in my opinion stopped it from getting more diggs. But good that it's there anyway.
