Here is a snippet of his quick speech at the airport last night:

“… I want to thank the Governor for being here today. Governor, thank you for coming. I want to thank your two fine United States Senators, Senator Hatch and Bennett for joining us. (Applause.) I thank Congressmen Matheson, Bishop and Cannon for being here, as well. I want to thank you all for coming…

“…Most of all, I want to thank you all for staying up a little past your bedtime, for some of you, to greet me.” (Applause.)

I’m going to assume that the President was talking about Sen. Hatch being up well past his bedtime.

First, because Senator Bennett isn’t running this year, why should I waste a joke? Besides, Senator Bennett has obviously been staying up very, very late the last few weeks looking for ways to protect companies against being held responsible for dumping all of your personal information onto the internet.

Next, I know that Rep. Matheson doesn’t go to bed that early. As the youngest member of the delegation, (and, let’s face it, the best looking, too) Utah’s most popular member of the Utah Congressional Delegation (I just love being able to say that and have it be so overwhelmingly true) can stay up late and get up early and can still have the energy to represent the people of Utah’s Second Congressional District. So well, in fact, that he is the most popular member of the Congressional Delegation. Did I say that again? Did I say that he had the highest approval rating of the entire delegation? I did? Good.

Next, I’m pretty sure it’s not Rep. Cannon. One look at him and you can tell he’s not sleeping very well. No joke here, really, Chris Cannon looks tired. Run down and out of juice. If he weren’t so busy NOT campaigning right now, I’d tell him to take it easy, take a long vacation (until November 8th or so), quit trying to find ways to sell out the American work force and get some sun. Maybe try a little melatonin (talk to Senator Hatch, he can totally hook you up). I mean, Rep. Cannon has the highest DISapproval rating of the Congressional Delegation, so, it’s apparent that he’d have to spend a lot of energy arguing with 3rd District constituents that clearly don’t care for him anymore. Somebody get Mr. Cannon an Ambien, no good can come from his insomnia.

Next, according to calls we’re getting at the office, Rep. Rob Bishop has taken to napping through meetings with constituents. So, Mr. Bishop doesn’t need an early bedtime because, when you go to his office to exercise your right to address your “representative”, he’s most likely to nod off. One caller said he snored. In an afternoon meeting. I wish I were making this up.

So, that leaves Mr. Hatch as the member of our Delegation who was up well beyond his bedtime. See? Deductive reasoning often takes you where you want to go!
