Huntsman, Springmeyer face off in debate

Is Springmeyer really that dumb? He says Huntsman's tax plan hurts the poor. Exactly the opposite is true. Huntsman tax plan is more progressive, taking many low income individuals off the tax rolls completely. Springmeyer needs to do his homework.

This was a debate between liberals and hard to tell which is the most liberal. Why wasn't "Super" Dell Shanze invited. Yes he may be crazy and has no chance of being elected, but he is a candidate for governor, and may even have made the debate interesting.

The reason I heard that "Super" Dell wasn't invited was because he had no chance of winning; well neither does Bob Springmeyer. I am so disgusted with Huntsman that I can't vote for him, and Springmeyer is no better, so I will vote for "Super" Dell Shanze as a protest vote. I would laugh if thousands of voters thought the same way and "Super" Dell came in 2nd ahead of Springmeyer as a protest vote against Huntsman. A vote for Springmeyer would be seen as another democrat and not a protest.

Kudos to Governor Huntsman for standing up for the conservation, innovation and our children's future, even when attacked by a Democrat.

I'm guessing the vast majority of Salt Lake County Democrats will join me and other Republicans in voting for Governor Huntsman after this debate.

All candidates should have a chance to debate, otherwise change the election process.
