Comments about ‘Governor is running on borrowed cash’

Is this supposed to sound like a scandal?

I'm pretty sure the Huntsman family has the cash to cover any expenses.

I have a credit line. It doesn't surprise me at all that the Governor does also.

Time to fire this bum

I wasn't going to vote for him anyway. He jad his time to prove what he could do for this state and well in my opinion he hasn't done too much.

why does this bug me? maybe because we have a governor who has never ever really earned a buck the good 'ol fashioned way. i like the governor fine...i just am not happy with his "easy come ease go" way of handling our money. for him to be paying large sums of interest money with donated campaign money seems to be frivilous with trusted funds. it just bugs me.

Maybe he'll have to get a real job for once in his lifetime.

I have nothing against Huntsman but it is a shame that other candidates are required to have wealth to run for office. The whole article was foolish,unless there is a election law against using personal assets,the present governor should not be made out to seem like an average citizen living on borrowed cash.

Everybody else borrows money.

I thought that's what CONSERVATIVE RE-PUBLICANS do. Borrow from, let's say CHINA, and then GO FOR IT! Maybe the GUV should contact PALIN, I hear she is a WIZ.

I'm sure the Huntsman clan has the money, so I'm not going to contribute. They can buy the office themselves.

No scandal. Just another example of someone who advocates one thing, but does another.

Boy, that Huntsman is such a bad guy! Who knows, he may become like Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton if he keeps it up for maybe 500 years, then he just might find himself in debt to the tune of $40 million dollars and ask if Obama and his democrat donors can bail him out too. ~~Smirkles~~

Although I am leery of debt, one of the things I like about the govenor is that he is not a strict conservative.

Why do we care about this? Ex Mayor Anderson may have had more money and paid of more of the debt - this still wouldn't make him a good Mayor.

He got voted in by his last name and running on a republican ticket.

I have a theory I could go grab a homeless guy from off the street, legally change his last name to Hinckley, run him as a republican, and he would at least be a very substantial threat in the next election.

Huntsman has always looked at Utah as a stepping stone, he just wants to get noticed so he can move up another level.

Utah has kept its head up during tough economic times. Too bad he's not Mayor of SLC as well.

If he borrows from the bank at 5.25 and has his own money in a managed trust that earns more, he's earning money by borrowing it. Lots of people do that.

The general authorities of the church advise against that kind of practice, but lots of people do it anyway.

The guv is a good guy, but he's not a world class politician. His days are numbered. The way he got dissed at the RNC is a very good indication of how important he would be to McCains administration, i.e., nothing - nada. Let's see how he does now that Utah is just beginning to enter into some very, very tough financial times...

So is the federal government and many of our citizens.

Some of you seem to have no knowledge of finance whatsoever. This is what I "love" about message boards . . . people getting their few seconds of fame by talking about something they know nothing about.
