Conservative blogger Erick Erickson of RedState.com did some great research into some of Interlink Capital Strategies’ (owned by Tim Bridgewater) business dealings. Erickson found that Interlink had obtained a $3 million U.S. government-backed loan for a subsidiary of Canelos Inc., a company owned by suspected drug trafficker and money launderer Alejandro Canelos.

Recently, Cherilyn Eagar announced she was endorsing Tim Bridgewater for Senate. This came as no surprise to some, especially after her comments on the Bob Lonsberry radio program a few weeks ago. I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the endorsements that Tim Bridgewater and Mike Lee have picked up so far.
Last Tuesday at the historic town hall in American Fork, Utah Republican Senate candidates Mike Lee and Tim Bridgewater participated in a debate put together by American Fork’s youth city council. The place was packed. I was able to get video of most of the debate. Below are parts 1 and 2 of 4 total clips:

This mini-documentary will show you U.S. Senate candidate Tim Bridgewater’s business background. The video asks the question: Is Tim Bridgewater the small-businessman that Utahns think he is, or is he just another Washington insider who has used his connections in the Federal Government to build his business?
Last night, the Senate passed the 1,700+ page Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2009 (it passed the House in December, sponsored by Elmer Fudd Barney Frank). The House and Senate versions still have to be reconciled before they are sent to the President for his signature.
I am endorsing Mike Lee for the U.S. Senate because he will uphold his oath of office to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States.” This means he will vote NO on any bill that falls outside the role of Congress as defined in Article I of the U.S. Constitution.
There was quite a lot of response to the comments former U.S. Senate candidate Cherilyn Eagar made on the Bob Lonsberry program on May 12. Cherilyn Eagar posted this statement on RedState.com in response:
U.S. Senate candidate from Utah, Tim Bridgewater, offered to pay Cherilyn Eagar’s campaign debt. This happened at the Utah State GOP Convention, after Cherilyn was eliminated, and it appears to have been offered in exchange for an endorsement. These kinds of backroom deals are what’s wrong with politics. That shows a lot of integrity on Cherilyn Eagar’s part for not taking the bribe.
Here are the results of the 2010 Utah Republican convention:
Senate Race
Round 1: Mike Lee 28.75%, Tim Bridgewater 26.84%, Bob Bennett 25.91%, Cherilyn Eagar 15.84%
Round 2: Tim Bridgewater 37.42%, Mike Lee 35.99%, Bob Bennett 26.59% – That means 18 year incumbent Senator Bob Bennett was defeated in the second round and Utah will have a new Senator.
