No different than Huntsman
Huntsman has been a surprisingly good governor. I am concerned the Herbert will be more than a little eager to please his developer friends in the legislature. Before everyone celebrates the fact that we'll have a "real" Republicanin charge now they should remeber that the GOP that Herbert represents is a failed party with no future.
Huntsman was a leader with foresight. He will be missed.
DOes anyone else remember when he got a ticket at UVSC and then got that cop fired? A little too Palinesque for me.
He also raised his pay almost every year and never did run a fiscally responsible budget- Utah county's roads and development are still crappy thanks to him.
He has also been very good at saying he will do one thing to people's faces and then doing the opposite behind closed doors. (I guess he will represent the majority of Utah Republicans then).
Thank goodness we get to vote him out in 2010.
We have seen this type of gop before: beholden, arrogant, insider. Tries to appear to be one of the sheep.
Time will tell.
Don't we have some gop's who are better than this?

Lt. Gov. Gary Herbert waves to the crowd with his wife, Jeanette, after being sworn in for his second term in office at the Utah State Capitol in January. President Obama on Saturday named Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. as his choice to be ambassador to China. Herbert, an Orem Republican, will succeed Huntsman.
