Romneyman-not | 10:22 a.m. Feb. 8, 2008
2012, 2016, 2020, 2024, 2028--if he's still alive--Mitt will have abou the
same chance of winning the election as he did this year. But by golly, I'll
bet he'll try.
not Obama | 10:28 a.m. Feb. 8, 2008
We need Romney as the next President. I don't even know now who to vote
for. Obama who won't even put his hand over his heart for the flag, what
kind of a President will he be????

I am generally a Republican. However, I have never voted a straight Republican
ticket. I vote for the person who best exemplifies what I believe and think is
best for the country regardless of party affiliation. I have never voted for a
Democrat for President up until now. However, I cannot with a clear conscience
vote for McCain. I do support the war but I don't agree with McCain on many
other issues and I don't believe he is conservative in any sense of the
word. I cannot, however, vote for Obama. He does not pledge allegiance to our
flag and if he won't put his hand on the bible at his swearing in, he
doesn't represent what I believe we need to lead this country. While I
don't like the Clintons and what President Clinton did to the integrity of
his office, I'm afraid she would be the best of the bad choices we may be
facing.

With Mitt Romney out of the race the people in Idaho are not going to go in lock
step and vote for McCain. Idaho is the #1 state for the consevatives but things
are changing. President Bush is a disaster with his 2 trillion dollar no win
war, no energy policy, the sinking dollar, etc. The Idaho people see McCain as
the problem, not the solution. He is a wacky liberal just like Hillary, and
Obama. Those 3 Senators are all cut out of the same mold and are being paid
salary, perks and retirement pay for missing a years work in the Senate while
campaigning for a new job. Our only choice in Idaho is to not vote for a
President or do a write in. Mitt Romney was the only candidate that had the
experience in a real job in the private sector and was capable of turning around
the mess we have in Washington, but he was defeated because of his religion.
America: You will reap what you have sowed!!!
JE | 10:32 a.m. Feb. 8, 2008
I will be writing in Romney. I will not vote for any of the others. McCain is
a Dem in Repub clothing. Mitt in 2012!
John Adams | 10:29 a.m. Feb. 8, 2008
The Democrats will bankrupt us through their continued "socialistic"
programs. The McCain (& sad to say Romney)--we must police the world at all
costs--will bankrupt us even faster (the terrorists can beat us quite easily
economically without ever having to fire another shot).
Ron Paul is still an option and the only one that actually addresses the root of the both problems. It's still not too late.

I will be voting Ron Paul, even if its a write in.

McCain has a very poor record for someone calling themself a conservative. He
is NOT a concervative.
He is right of Clinton, who is right of Obama, BUT
still way left. His record proves it.
What to do ?

It wasn't the question -- it was the way and place that is was asked, by
someone who already knew the answer, and who knew that it had absolutely nothing
to do with the office of President.
Huckadean was trying to paint Romney as a nutcase in the minds of all of those people who don't know any better.
This was taken right out of the Clinton playbook. I wonder if there's something in the water at the Arkansas governor's mansion . . ?

Hold your nose | 10:42 a.m. Feb. 8, 2008
What a sick campaign slogan "Hold your nose and vote for McCain." Come
on republicans. You've got McCain, and Hillary or Obama to choose from.
Seriously study each candidate before you hold your nose and vote straight
republican. Research this important issue of who to vote for for yourself.
Don't be told by talk radio or a political party how to think. I am an
independent and LDS and upon my own personal research, given the chance I will
vote for Obama.
Re: Anonymous | 10:53 a.m. Feb. 8, 2008
I've known that for years, too. It is all about context, though. Huckabee
knew what he was saying, and he knew how most Evangelicals/Baptists would react
to it. He acted very innocent, but he said it in a way that would be taken very
negatively, and he did it for political gain.
Dear Henry Drummond | 10:55 a.m. Feb. 8, 2008
Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Mister D?! Exact same treatment? Wow, I never
knew that the Utah mormons discriminated against the Utah minority's
presidential candidate named Mitt Romney. Instead of "exact same" you
should have said "similar." Yes. Good thing we all can rely on reason
to resolve our problems. Let me apologize on behalf of my fellow Mormons, but at
the same time, I doubt there's really that much malicious discrimination
out there. It's mostly just what the majority wants that tends to shape
things. Not the had of the church, but rather, the thousands of members who live
here. Get it?
t_stuke | 11:00 a.m. Feb. 8, 2008
McCain is almost a perfect candidate for me, but I've been a little put off
by his actions with Huckelberry against Mitt. I'll either vote crazy for
Obama or maybe reason will win out and I'll vote for McCain.

Re: Hold your nose | 11:01 a.m. Feb. 8, 2008
And you researched Obama? Wow!!!! Didnt' research very well did you. And
the same goes to everyone who thinks that McCain, Huckabee, Romney, or Clinton
are a real solution. Are you kidding? Our citizens cannot even take a look at
the candidates and see the record for each, instead they just vote for the next
guy that is going to take this country further down.
Anonymous | 11:12 a.m. Feb. 8, 2008
Compassionate conservatives!! What a joke. The fiscal budget takes a hundred
years to get to $1 trillion, and Conservative Bush sees the budget go to $2
trillion, then $3 trillion. Illegal immigration seems to double, earmarks grow,
and a war that is a mess. I'll take an honest democrat who believes in a
balanced budget and is at least truthful about their social liberalism. Luckily,
democrats still believe in regulating the predatory capitalists and war mongers.
I continue to believe in the constitution, smaller government, peace, and fiscal
sanity. I wish I could find a political party that does.
Michelle 4 Ron Paul | 11:14 a.m. Feb. 8, 2008
Mitt Romney is out. That's his decision, one which he made based on
reason. If you write him in on the ballot in November the strongest statement
you make is that you're letting others make decisions for you by actually
electing a candidate, one who may take this nation for a worse turn.
Some say that Ron Paul is crazy. He's not. Its obvious that he's in it for us, not him. Have you looked at what he stands for? Do some research. He has consistently voted for YOUR RIGHTS and will not be swayed. Ron Paul is the only honest candidate. He certainly has my vote.

if the final ballot is Obama vs McCain, for the first time in my life I'll
vote Democratic. if the final ballot is Clinton vs McCain, for the first time
in my life I'll place a write-in vote. there's little McCain can do
between now and November to change my mind, his records speaks louder than his
recent words. guess we'll have to wait until November to see if others
stay true to their votes in a poll today.
L | 11:23 a.m. Feb. 8, 2008
It is a long time to the election and a lot of things can happen which my
influence final decisions. Who knows someone may get hit by a car or have a
heart attack, we might even have a Romney / Edwards race.
Some things that may happen internationally that we have little control over. They could certainly influence the outcome, as could what is happening in our economy.
I am fiercely independent and will vote not by political party (state, local or national.) I will vote for who I feel can do the best job and leading us where we should go.
I guess I still fall in that "undecided" column, or maybe it should be called "wait an see" column.

response mormons wake up | 11:25 a.m. Feb. 8, 2008
You are kidding me. Do you really think Huckabee made his comment to make
mormons look silly. It was an honest question. As a faithful mormon I need to
vote Republican that is what any good mormon will do
CA Transplant | 11:26 a.m. Feb. 8, 2008
I don't understand why "liberal" is such a dirty word here. Some
people would die in UT before voting liberal. Seriously, why is that? Clinton
was liberal, Bush was conservative. Yet look at the records. Under Clinton,
laws were passed, budgets were balanced, and taxes were not raised sky high.
The country's morals didn't denigrate under Clinton anymore than they
have under Bush. I'm not necessarily pro-Clinton. But really that
"liberal" did a better job that the holy conservative.
Bottom line is that McCain and Huckabee don't like Mormons. Yet Mormons will vote for them because "liberal" is a dirty word and are compelled to vote red. I cannot for the life of me understand it. I vote based on person, not by party. And I don't led buzzwords like conservative and liberal sway my judgment. Especially when you consider that Greenspan notes that Bush is more of a fiscal liberal than Clinton was.
Can we all just look at the facts and vote that way? Would it kill the people of UT to ignore traditional party lines and vote for the best person? The word liberal is not as scary as you've been led to believe.

I really don't understand. Mormons make such a big deal about preserving
the constitution and you have one candidate that supports the constitution
100%--that is Ron Paul. You couldn't say that about Mitt Romney. Forget
the politics, vote for the best man. That man is Ron Paul. Remember the lesser
of two evils is still evil.
How crazy is this? | 11:23 a.m. Feb. 8, 2008
Not putting your hand over your heart when the flag passes by is a good reason
not to vote for a candidate? Maybe those naughty Jazz players should be kicked
off the team for the same offense?
And would John Adams rather our country go bankrupt fighting all the countries John McCain would like us to fight in? Personally, I'd rather we go bankrupt meeting our own people's needs, especially health care, education, and cleaning up the environment.

All you mad, spite filled, vengefull Mormons out there better wake up and
settle down. Most of you say your voting Obama, (but really won't) and help
him win, you will almost certainly ruin any chance, that Mitt has in 2012,
because Obama will win a second term...yes?
Take a look at Paul | 11:38 a.m. Feb. 8, 2008
Take a quick look at Paul. If his stances are worse than Obama or Clinton, go
ahead and vote for them.
re: response mormons wake up | 11:45 a.m. Feb. 8, 2008
Really? A good Mormon votes Republican? I must have missed that section in the
Doctrine & Covenants. Or was it in the Book of Mormon? Family
Proclamation? Conference talk? Can you please provide proof or a reference for
your utterly ridiculous remark?
As an aside, many of the Brethren do not divulge their party affiliation. But I do know that Faust did--Democrat. So what are you saying? He was not a good Mormon? I'm not sure where you get your information, but it appears to be not from the church. It's your opinion and nothing else. What a slippery slope that must be for you.

Republican with integrity | 11:56 a.m. Feb. 8, 2008
I am a republican with integrity and I saw my party on National TV engage in
what some people think only Democrats display - sleaze. When I watched McCain
and Huck play with the delegates and collaborate so Romney would not get the
delegates he needed in a winner-take-all state, I knew how I would vote in
November. I will vote Rep. for House, Senate, Governor, etc. but at the top of
the ticket I will either write in Romney or vote Democrate. If the House and
Senate stay red then the Dems won't pass all those big packages anyway. On
the other hand, McCain and Huck will get what they richly deserve - the biggest
presidential loss in American history. I live in the South and if you think a
minister can't "sell his birthright for a mess of pottage" you
just watched it on TV. Great speech Romney, but we're not lining up behind
McCain. Sorry.
Who should I vote for? | 11:59 a.m. Feb. 8, 2008
Hillary Clinton? No self-respect, lack of morals, power seeker, I just
don't want to .....
Barack Obama? I like that he has a nice family, and that he's young and energetic, but for what? He supports abortion, gay marriage, bigger government, I just don't want to....
John McCain? Just don't feel right about him, he seems like a sleazebag with his marriage record, not higly moral, I guess he's a war POW, though not my hero to be honest (dirty tricks with Huckabee to knock off Romney, who I thought was o.k.).... I just don't want to....
Who else???? Is voting for the lesser evils still good? Which one is the lesser one?? What a hard decision... I will pay very close attention to this one, because not voting at all would be plain stupid, and voting for someone not on the ballot just as dumb.....

"Do you really think Huckabee made his comment to make mormons look

ABSOLUTELY. He's been anti-Mormon at least since he spoke at the Southern Baptist convention here in SLC a few years ago.

If McCain wins, it will be a long time before ANYONE trusts Republicans
again.
At least with Obama, you know from the beginning that he's dangerous and to keep an eye on him. He won't get an inch past you without a fight.
If McCain wins, he'll be a mile down the road while you're still trying to figure out where that knife in your back came from.

You must be kidding! It's comments like that which hurt our church's
public image. Who on earth ever told you that. I have not heard it once
preached to me. And for the record, I am a Mormon in good standing and I am an
independent. I have never claimed party affiliation, I vote for who i believe
will do the best job, regardless of their party affiliations.

That is exactly what I am saying. We believe in protecting life, sanctity of
marriage, and laying down your life for others. So in other words Pro life, pro
Marraige amendment and protecting innocent civilians in Iraq. That is what is
meant by good mormons. Huckabee is one of us
Re:Anonymous | 12:38 p.m. Feb. 8, 2008
Why do intelligent people get their information on candidates from anonymous
emails? Obama does say the pledge of allegience. I've seen video footage of
at lest 3 different times. Do an internet search. He said in a debate that he
was sworn into congress with a bible. Who knows why he didn't put his hand
over his heart one time. I know I've been distracted and not done that once
or twice. I've seen footage with his hand over his heart. Get your
information straight before you start bashing someone.
Re Mormons wake up | 12:46 p.m. Feb. 8, 2008
No it is 90% all mormon vote that makes us look silly. Huckabee has stood his
ground for what mormons believe in. He may not have the exact same thelogy
beliefs but with his stands and his commitment to missionary work I think
Huckabee if he was mormon would have won over the faithful. I have a friend who
was a missionary in Arkansas many years ago that knew Mikes church and he was
very friendly to the missionaries.

I am in no way a McCain supporter and will NEVER cast a vote for Huckleberry - I
WILL NOT vote for a man that I truly believes hates me - BUT are people serious
about Obama???? The man is an empty suit and reminds me of Mussolini in his
rhetoric and social programs. There are differences to be sure but not that
many.(Benito was NOT Adolph) I will not sit out the election but I also will not
vote for an overt Marxist, socialist or fascist looking for the Third Way. And
spare me the "wasted vote" or "then your voting for the
winner" mantras. Quite a conundrum.

The three presidents with the most political experience before being elected:
1. William H. Taft- Voted out in a landslide after one term.
2. Herbert Hoover- His economics led us into the Great Depression.
3. Richard Nixon- Any questions?
Candidates with some of the least political experience:
1. Franklin D. Roosevelt- Served one term as a state senator (sound familiar?). Was the only president to be elected 4 times and helped defeat Adolf Hitler.
2. John F. Kennedy- One of only 2 presidents elected from the Senate (again, sound familiar?). Anybody heard of the Civil Rights Act (enacted post-mortem)? The Cuban Missile Crisis? The Space Race?
Experience does not make the man. Of the 7 military generals elected president, only Eisenhower was really great. Ulysses S. Grant may have been the worst in history. The other 5 were considered marginal.

Writing in Mitt or voting for McCain, Obama, or Bilary won't matter a hill
of bean. The electorial college elects the pres. and that is the way it should
be. It is called checks and balances. The founding fathers set it up so that
the peoples voice was the House of representatives. The Senators were to be
elected by State (once removed from the popular vote) to represent and protect
states rights. (that was since changes by one of the amendments). The President
was to be lected by the electorial college, twice removed from the popular vote.
You can kiss your states right away if the popular vote elects all three
branches of government. Do you want single mom with 4 kids by 4 different
live-in boyfriend electing a commander in chief on the basis of promision larger
welfare checks. They will promise anything to get elected

I cannot believe what I read sometimes. Mormons have to vote Republican because
Obama and Clinton are pro-choice and pro-gay rights? Hello. Romney was
pro-choice in Mass. And y'all supported him with 90% approval. So why
then would a vote for the Democratic candidate be so heretical?
The Mormons are mad because Huckabee & McCain played dirty. So they're anti-Mormon. But Mormons are anti-gay. So if you think it's ok to be anti-something you don't understand, expect a little of that back from time to time.
Whatever happened to the days of letting people make their own life choices? I would never consider an abortion, but is it not Satan's plan to deny others that choice? The same argument goes with alternate lifestyle individuals. So just because Obama or Clinton think that people should have freedom to make their own choices (including their own mistakes) does not make them evil. It makes them similar to Romney before he became characterized as a flip-flopper.

Ron Paul is the only Republican that can defeat Hillary in the general election.
He voted against the war, she was for it. He'll lower taxes dramatically,
she will try to get more donations from the active duty military than the other
candidates combined. Hillary has received the most money from the weapons
industry and lobbyists.
Utah will go for Ron Paul, but we need more people to really make a sincere effort in finding out who is running to make this country a better place and who is running for their own personal gain.

woops! correction for my post:

bottom line: McCain has no change against Hillary or Obama. Americans want to end the war, they definately are not going to vote for Bush on steroids. Ron Paul is the republicans only chance.

Finally! With Romney out of the way and all the irrational thinking gone, now
Utahns can get on with making a rational decision as to who they will now
support. McCain is too slippery for most Mormon values, as are Clinton and
Obama. So it's really a sort of three sided coin toss. No doubt about it
though, if Obama is the Democrat nominee, Utah just might break ranks and
actually throw its electoral votes to Obama... which might be in the Utah's
better interest than many might be willing to admit.

RE: Least Experienced..
FDR implemented many of the same programs Hitler & Mussolini did - In fact both of these men (along with Stalin) admired FDR's ability to create socialist programs and make CHANGE. A strong case can be made that FDR's policies PROLONGED the Great Depression and that it took the war to get us out of it.
People remember the Myth of JFK - this man manufactured at least 15 "crisis" during his term in office - including the missile crisis, and let's not forget the Bay of Pigs. He was vehemently anti communist, but not anti-socialist. He got us fully involved in Viet Nam and his inaugural address was full of the type of militaristic jingoism I'm sure you would strongly object to. All of this done to pull the US together (Including the Space Program - which I strongly support); again, some of his methods were not unlike Mussolini - or Hitler.
I was a Mitt supporter, but Ron Paul is right - He really IS the only TRUE Republican in the race.

As lifelong Republicans, my family will not support McCain. Can you imagine the
contrast of 72 yr old McCain against 40 something Obama? Didn't McCain say
that we would be in Iraq for as long as 100 years? What a mistake the Republican
Party has made. McCain is all about the past. Huckster and McCain have both
engaged in overt and covert religious bigotry. If Huckster (the champion of the
national sales tax) is the VP candidate, we will likely vote for Hillary. The
devil that we know is better than the devil we don't know. Obama's
suggestion that he would meet with the Iranian and North Korean leaders
demonstrates his inexperience and naivete. By my measure, Hillary becomes the
least of the worst. She is more conservative than McCain.

keep touching the stove because it is his choice. What the? you are a quiter and
fence sitter with no moral background it is obvious why you are not a
republican. No spine
Romney too conservative | 2:11 p.m. Feb. 8, 2008
Ultra-Conservatives like Romney believe in a two-tiered morality for society
� one for the
�masses� and one for the
�elites� � which,
conveniently enough, always seem to include themselves!
There�s nothing they like better than to sit around on
their not-inconsiderable behinds and tell other people to go out and fight and
die in wars that they would not for a second get personally involved in.
Because, you see, it�s good for the 'little
people'. Builds character and backbone. And war also presents many fine
punditry and scholarly opportunities for themselves, as well as marvelous
opportunities to brush aside those inconvenient and pesky notions of
�democracy� and
�civil rights� that the little people
insist on yammering about. Not to mention that the warmongering (which they have
no need to physically participate in, thank you!) is their method of choice to
establish the United States as the lone superpower in the world, with the rest
of the world our cowering subjects.
