We need to have a new Constitutional Amendment stating that once a person becomes president, his or her family members (spouses and children) cannot become president for 25 years. GWB wouldn't have been elected president if it were not for his name recognition, and Hillary would NEVER be considered if it were not for her husband.

Hillary has no executive experience. I cannot think of any major legislation that she has pushed through as a Senator. Election through celebrity is a terrible way to conduct a republic. Hillary's campaign to become president just seems like a backhanded way to get Bill back in the White House. We have historical precident and a Constitutional Amendment to prevent that. There is much more talent in this country than those two families.

It is amazing that anyone would give money to this fellow and his wife, or what ever relationship it is they have going.

Why don't you just admit you are one of those Limbaugh-ites that hates the Clintons and most likely would like to see the country rescind the ability for women to vote, Patata?

Very hard to fathom that there are so many unthinking people associated with such an important process as electing the leader of our great nation.

Patata Brava: I agreee with your comment. Why would we ever want to put an impeached President anywhere even close to the Whitehaouse again? Keep in mind that only two (2) Presidents have ever been impeached in our nations history, and people want to possibly put Billary back in there? Does NOT make any sense! If you feel the the desire to vote Democrat...vote for Bill Richardson. He seems ALOT more down to earth, and REAL!

There shouldn't be a limit on who Runs for President just because a member of your family has been president. You don't want that person, then don't VOTE for that person.

A hit! Not! If he were on the ballout for even the PTA he wouldn't get 20% of the vote statewide. In liberal niches he does fine but don't say with a straight face he is a hit in Utah. His moral authority doesn't even register above zero, it goes to show that liberals and the press that supports them, can say anything and at least some people will believe it but thankfully this State still remembers what the Clintons are like.

It is interesting, He never once campaigned in the state of Utah during his term as president (except the time he made an appearence in Park City just before the end of his presidency) Now he has come to build up hillary's treasure. MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, from anywhere he can get it including the poor suckers among the Democrats of Utah.

To give an answer to the above statement. Since when does a person have to have passed any major legislation to become president of this country. Who was George Bush when he became pres. He had only been in Washington when his Father was Pres. I voted for the First Bush and the 2nd Bush but I certainly would not have voted for the last one if I had known what he was going to do for our Great Country. Get us into WAR and make the world hate Americans because of his ego and stubbornness. He and cheney , to me , ( a person who has lived through the depression, wars and now the Bush presidency,) they are the worst Presidency we have ever had . I have voted for all of the Repulicans since I have been old enough to vote. But I certainly wish I could take my vote back on George Bush and Cheney.

The articles title could very easily have read "Clintons HIT on Utah." Thank you Patata Brava for your excellent comments and ideas. Having the Clintons back in the White House is a pretty scary proposition. And I, too, would like a break from the Bush family!

Didn't get any money from me, and they won't. I hope they spent a lot of that money to bring himself and his entourage here. Not worth 2 cents.

Just Crazy, I Think! | 8:16 a.m. Nov. 5, 2007
The only thing Bill ever did for Utah was hideout at the Grand Canyon in Arizona(to scared to show his face in Utah) and Blind-sided us with another useless Utah National Monument! We all know that the Grand Stair Case National Monument sits on top of one of the Largest Utah Coal Reserves! Man, he really helped Utah's economy! We're all crazy if we think tourism will fill that loss!

bipartisan? | 8:21 a.m. Nov. 5, 2007
Is he serious...did Bill Clinton actually say she would render bipartisan support as President? Let me think, when Bill Clinton was in the middle of a major scandal which included lying before a grand jury about serious sexual allegations made towards him (the most serious of which were never really investigated, incuding rape and sexual assault - see Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broderick). His wife stated that it was all a part of a "vast right wing conspiracy". She has also divided the country so much that 50% of the population has stated they would not vote for her under any circumstances. Republicans in congress cannot stand her.

She has never had to be responsible for a payroll or meet a budget of any significance. Listen to what she is saying she wants to do...there is no way on earth we could pay for it, and more taxes just kills the economy which in turn lowers tax revenue. It would take us years to recover from her with just 4 years at the helm.

Wake up people.

will people in Utah actually blow a blood vessel if Hillary gets elected? I think she is an exceptionally bright woman (the poster above who said they can't think of anything she has done as a Senator is incredibly ill informed) and i would support her candidacy if after the process she prevailed.

but the best part would be listening to the utahn blow a gasket. The sheer hate of the uninformed right wing conservatives in this state -- in spite of their immoral, failed policies of the last seven years -- leaks into every thing that happens in this state.

One only need to look at the joke of the Utah Legislature to see how prevalent this is.

Dear G.T Grandma, I say you would think the same of Abraham Lincoln. Apparently you feel that allowing Muslim fanatics to blow us up is okay and have not heard at all their avowed threat to kill All Americans, even you. Don't blame George Bush for the feelings towards Americans. I felt that in France in 1963 and in many parts of Germany from 1961 -63 even though we kept the communists at bay. What you and many others refuse to believe is that there are people who hate us because we have what they are unwilling to work for. They want it without having to go through the efforts.

My problem with the Clinton's is their arrogance toward the American People. When I look at pictures of them and can get a clear picture of their eyes I see nothing but evil. They aren't the only ones that I see this evil in, but it isn't Bush. Bush has had to face problems no other American President has ever had to face. The European Leaders failed with Hitler and their pacifist attitude. They will fail again against Muslim fanatics. Start understanding history, not just reading it.

I think the only comment needed here is "hacuna patata" which translates into "stay the course". Is that really want? Have you looked at who is running on the Republican side recently? The words "gypsies, tramps and thieves" comes to mind(with apologies to all of those groups).

Nuts! | 8:44 a.m. Nov. 5, 2007
I heard a lady on the news last night say she has always respected Bill Clinton...???? What?

Respected...and Adulterer? A man who desecrated the White House? A man who lied under oath? A man who smoked Pot, but never inhaled? A man who, like Hilary or not, made a public mockery of the marriage vows/covenant? Resepects a man who ignored all the terrorist activity that led our Nation to where it is now? That someone else had to clean up the messes ten years later?

Hilary? Not once iota of experience leading anyone...not more than 14 people, whom she now has under her. A woman that lied and supported a husband that deceived her too? All to maintain her own chance at some power. Hilary? A woman that was laughed out of position by even her own party and the Republicans for her ridiculous approach to health care when slick willy was president?

She says she has always dreamed of fighting for children...what? Someone who always fights for children dedicates their life to children...she has dedicated her life to positioning herself for power...that's it.

Good Heavens People...Wake the heck up! She would put this nation into a financial tailspin.

No. Utah sees a major earthquake every 350 years. Last one? 350 years ago.
