To Dutchman: I do not believe ANY political candidate should be at that funeral. But you pro-Mormons will support Romney's appearance, and would have denigrated Obama if he'd attended to "show respect". And you know it.
And if you Utahans don't want to see another President Clinton, perhaps you Republicans should vote as Democrats on Super Tuesday and vote for Obama. It's not like Mitt isn't going to take Utah by a landslide without your vote.
I'm sure Romney won't be handing out "VOTE FOR ROMNEY" buttons as people file in. I can understand Obama changing his plans, but I for one would like to see the candidates attend the services out of respect, just as they would attend any other funeral of a great leader, and President Hinkley WAS a great leader. The things said at the funeral may help put a new prespective on the race and humble some who may need it.
I'm just waiting to hear the dems, or Huckabee to somehow make this timing all Romney's doing, and Who Knows, sounds like you're starting.
Now Hilary on the other hand......Heaven help us all if she takes it.
