It figures, for once we get an open minded, progressive Republican for Governor and he gets shipped off to China.

Herbert was bad news for Utah county as commissioner, I can't imagine he'll be any different as Governor. Welcome back to the dark ages...

Herbert's leadership style may be unknown, but his close ties to the radical right are well known.

He will end up being the lapdog to Utah county.
Perspective? | 10:16 p.m. May 16, 2009
Many of us voters are delighted that our next governor will NOT be a "moderate, progressive" RINO.

Indeed, we are thrilled that he will lead the shift in direction towards pro-freedom, pro-business, limited government.

That is naturally unwelcome news to Utah's most liberal state senator, Scott McCoy, and his small minority of vocal malcontents.

Welcome to office, Gov. Herbert!

Holding out hope that Herbert will show he can also be open minded and independent. Don't read liberal into that, but I appreciate how Governor Huntsman actually studies the issues and doesn't just stick to campaign rhetoric . . .

Apparently you do NOT know th history of progressivism in the US.

BIg Government,
Big Spending,
High taxes,
Taking state lands,
taking indivual liberties and rights,
racism,
Abortion,
Eugenics,

Being porgressive is a badge of shame.



Leadership style??? | 6:06 p.m. May 17, 2009
Gary Herbert has no leadership style-- he is a Realtor-- Realtor's do not lead, they sell-- He is a salesman, nothing more, nothing less..
And now he will be the mouth piece for the Republican far right out of Utah County- isn't that a piece of great news!!!!

Lt. Gov. Gary Herbert speaks in the Ragan Theater at Utah Valley University in Orem as part of the Reed and Christine Halladay Executive Lecture Series in April 2008. President Obama on Saturday named 49-year-old Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. as his choice to be ambassador to China. Herbert, a 62-year-old Orem Republican, will succeed Huntsman.
