*He's a lot like Romney. A member of a prominent Mormon family; the son of a politician; a technocratic Republican governor with a special interest in health care; a successful businessman; a cool-headed efficiency evangelist. Sure, that could be Mitt Romney, but it's also Mike Leavitt. The two men became friends when Leavitt, then governor of Utah, helped install Romney as head of the troubled Salt Lake City Olympic Games. His style as governor was much like Romney's as leader of Massachusetts: Politico describes Leavitt as "a hands-on executive who's driven more by data than by ideology, a high-energy if vanilla technocrat who reads heavily in his spare time." For Romney, who keeps a small core of like-minded, long-time lieutenants close to him, Leavitt is a perfect adviser.

*He has a long resume in Republican circles. Unlike Romney, who likes to boast that he's not a career politician, Leavitt has never been far from politics. He got his start running his father's unsuccessful bid for Utah governor. He continued to work on campaigns throughout the ensuing decades. He served an almost unprecedented three terms as Utah governor and was generally very popular. After his third term, he moved on to the Bush administration, where he replaced Christine Todd Whitman after her tumultuous term as EPA administrator, then took over the Health and Human Services Department for the entirety of the second Bush administration.

*He's known as a moderate. Like Romney, Leavitt has often been described as a moderate โ€“ a potential liability for the candidate, who has wrapped up the GOP nomination but is still seeking to convince conservatives he's one of them. For example, as EPA administrator, Leavitt was a prominent advocate of cap-and-trade rules for cutting carbon emissions. Back then, that position was attacked by environmentalists as far too lenient. Since then, however, the cap-and-trade idea has become a serious taboo in the GOP. Responding to the "moderate" label, Leavitt told Politico, "That's probably by Utah standards. I'm clearly center-right."

*He has been a prominent backer of one element of the health care law. Even as "Obamacare" has become the GOP's bete noire, Leavitt has vocally backed one provision of the law: state-level health-insurance exchanges. As part of the law's expansion of insurance, these exchanges allow citizens to shop for insurance from private companies, and if they qualify they can use federal subsidies to purchase coverage. Insurance companies accepted various strictures most notably, the ban on rejecting applicants with pre-existing conditions in return for the individual mandate, which broadens the pool of insurance buyers. A Leavitt aid told Politico, "We believe that the exchanges are the solution to small-business insurance market and that's gotten us sideways with some conservatives." But Leavitt also has a major financial interest: His health-care consultancy has won contracts from many states to help set up the exchanges, which must be in place by 2014 (unless the law is struck down by the Supreme Court).

That has conservatives hopping mad. Prominent conservative pundit Erick Erickson wrote on Monday, "This should shake every conservative's confidence in Team Romney to really understand just how badly we want Obamacare fully repealed and calls into question the conservative bona fides of those who would staff a Romney White House when Obamacare pimps staff the campaign." Several other conservative groups told Talking Points Memo that they were very concerned about Leavitt's selection for the same reason.

*He could play a powerful role in shaping a Romney administration. Why do they care so much? Well, Leavitt would have an important voice in setting both the personnel for the new administration and setting its agenda. He'd help Romney choose who would fill top spots in the Cabinet. President Obama selected John Podesta, a former White House chief of staff under Bill Clinton, to lead his transition; his eventual team included many veterans of the Clinton administration. It's also rumored that Leavitt might have his eye on a top job in a Romney White House, perhaps as chief of staff. So while a Leavitt-led transition wouldn't guarantee a moderate Romney administration, it's not unrealistic to expect his philosophy would be reflected in the result.

Castration for man convicted of rape won't be mandatory until one week prior to end of his 50-year sentence

LIVINGSTON - A man from Springfield was sentenced to 50 years in prison and physical castration after pleading guilty to raping a 14-year-old girl multiple times.

District Attorney Scott Perrilloux's Office said 54-year-od Glenn Sullivan Sr. pleaded guilty to four counts of second-degree rape on Wednesday.

The DA's office said in July of 2022, a young woman went to law enforcement and told them that Sullivan raped her multiple times when she was 14 and impregnated her as a teenager. A DNA test ordered during the trial confirmed that Sullivan was the father. The victim told detectives that Sullivan threatened to hurt her and her family if she told anyone about the abuse.

In addition to 50 years in prison, Sullivan will be physically castrated.

"I want to say I've had three people ordered to be chemically castrated but, to my knowledge, this is the first physical castration to be ordered," Assistant District Attorney Brad Cascio said.

Cascio says due to Sullivan's criminal history and the severity of this case, he pushed for the sentence.

"I felt that this case was a strong enough case and warranted such action."

According to a Louisiana law that's been in effect since 2008, men convicted of certain rape offenses may be sentenced to chemical castration, or, if they so chooseโ€”the surgical removal of their testicles.

Sullivan chose the latter option.

The Department of Corrections is typically responsible for the procedure. A spokesperson for DOC could not comment on this particular sentencing, but says surgical castration is "very rare".

"It has to be done no later than one week prior to his release, so they could do it immediately or they could wait," Cascio added.

Tuesday afternoon, a bill authored by Senator Regina Barrow that would allow a judge to order surgical castration without the defendant's consent if the victim is under the age of 13, was returned to the calendar.

In its current form, her bill allows the punishment for non-violent sex crimes like child pornography and video voyeurism.
