However,you can see Lord Obama, as he appears before
his groveling subjects in Denver, as he emerges from
his portable Temple, at the stadium. Please, no fainting.

It's yet to be seen if these young people actually go to the polls and vote. Its one thing to text and quite another to cast a vote

That's OK

Bush visited a few months ago, to raise money for his twin-brother McCain.

Utah's already in the hip pocket; there's no use for ANYONE to campaign here.

Then the heck with him. We'll vote for someone else.

Besides which, Hillary needs a face lift.

First good news I have heard in years!

Big Surprise

Go figure.

Gooooo Utes!!!!

Rubber stamp state

That's what happens when your state votes overwhelmly one way - nobody cares. You won't see McCain either; unless he needs to pick a few more million dollars from the sheep.

No big deal

The reality is the Utah only has five electoral votes.

Sen. or Pres. Obama doesn't care about Utah and it's people and, if elected, will never care.

Vote for JOHN MCCAIN and MITT ROMNEY.

BUT HERE IS A REALITY CHECK: We are seeing boasting from both sides that they have solutions regarding the economy and energy. BUT, both of these men are in the senate. Why aren't they at work IN THE GOVERNMENT RIGHT NOW solving these problems??? They don't have to be president to help the American People in these areas; thy can do it right now!!!

We should be able to text in our votes

What a shame. Obama doesn't need Utah's vote. Maybe he thinks y'all love your guns and go to church too much. Boo hoo.

so what

Common Sense

I see Obama not coming to Utah as a good sign. I'm proud to live in a state where a majority of the people have some common sense and are not blind followers.

Big whoop! I doubt McCain will come either, unless it's to raise money. The longer both stay away the better, we don't need the secret service messing up traffic for security. Pebble Anderson and the SUWA already messed traffic up enough.

Sad, because Obama may get it better than McCain. National Security and Economic Prosperity are dependent on Energy Indepence.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.

That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Search pickensplan. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.

What?!?!?

How will the sick in Utah ever be healed??

Racism in Utah

Since the civil rights movement, race has been our nation's "dirty little secret"an ugly, shameful reality swept under the rug of polite discourse, emerging only in isolated, angry outbursts about airport profiling, police brutality cases, and gangsta rap. Let's take that issue out from under the rugkeeping that initial phase of ignorance, lack of mutual understanding, and fearand make sure it dominates American politics for the next century.

Only by opening an embarrassingly one- dimensional dialogue on the most simple and wholly ignorant level can we ensure that we, as a nation, never get down to the deeper issues about race and identity that truly threaten to tear this country apart.

Who's with me?

nobama

What I can't figure out is, why does he take all of these trips to Montana?! It is a solid red state for one, and two, it only has 3 electoral votes! Look it, he is down in the polls in blue state Pennsylvania with all of it's 21 electoral votes! He is also behind in Florida,why not go there? Maybe he plans on retiring from politics after this year's election.

Interloper

The fact Sen. Obama does not have sufficient time in his hectic schedule to visit Utah rightfully saddens his supporters there. But, it may be for the better. Utah is likely one of the places where the senator's security detail must be augmented because of heightened risk.
