Why so grouchy, Webb? Every one of your responses is kind of sour.

You are right about Glenn Davis. And it's great foreshadowing for Huntsman 2008. Huntsman had better pray that it is only an unknown who jumps in.

What you should bare in mind is that the sins of Huntsman has nothing to do with his being a moderate Republican. That is not the issue. And it is not even his behind the scenes flip-flopping. It is his outright deception.

When Mike Leavitt got so far into the games of playing his base against the world, it cost him. The right wing will always whine. They love candidates right up until they get elected. Once elected, they become the enemy. We know that. And since we know that they become very useful.

On a couple major policy issues Governor Huntsman completely mislead his base. It is eroding quicker than a sand foundation under a Malibu beach mansion during a man made hurricane.

The other day I listened as two moderate Republican legislators talked about not wanting to get into the fray of Huntsman reelection. When his base is not excited about fighting for him....you got troubles at the OK Corral. Good thing Doc Holliday is on our side. Watermelon man awaits!

I hope the voucher vote brings some of the legislators a little bit back to reality. I won't be voting for anyone that continues to try to destroy public education. It isn't a conservative move and vouchers were a big mistake. Growing the government by giving handouts was seen as just that.

I think the leadership has done a pretty good job the last few years (vouchers excluded). They could really set themselves up as heroes if they were to really fund education this year. There is plenty of money and need right now. It is the right thing to do and would be seen by many that they really are listening to their constituents.

I'd love to see the headlines when a $10,000 per year raise for teachers comes out!

Webb says cleaner air? He must be telecommuting from Rich County! A well managed state? What did the right wing legislators just put us through with the voucher referendum? Balanced budgets? What about running rough shod over Salt Lake County Mayor Corroon over the REAL Utah? What about Webb reporting on any retaliations by the Republican legislators against those who opposed the voucher program? Please!
