The Politico reports on Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff’s apparently misguided tweet concerning his interest in higher office.

Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff announced he will be challenging Sen. Bob Bennett (R-Utah) in a Republican primary – by accident.

He posted a series of messages announcing his campaign on Twitter while on a trade mission to Israel, but he didn’t realize that his feed was available for the public to see. He quickly tried to delete his posts, but the damage was done.
