Bob Bernick Jr.: Demos could benefit from Huntsman's departure

In your dreams, Bob! | 6:14 a.m. June 19, 2009

The Dems are losing their greatest asset with the end of Huntsman's regime. If there was any chance that they would benefit from this change, Bob Bernick, I'm sure would be quiet about it.

Instead we have the usual "warning" from quarters that would never think of saying or doing anything to assist Republicans -other than liberal RINO plants.

All that Dems can do in Utah is to make the Republican Party here ever more the "Democratic-Lite" Party. I think, and ardently hope, that will not be the case. Herbert is an improvement; I hope he does not bow to this subtle pressure from liberals to sacrifice any conservative principles and conscience he has.

As soon as Huntsman bought into the global warming ponzi scheme, I knew he was a bonified RINO. It was as if ACORN was right there in the govs. office.

The above comments are trying to contest what Bernick has to say, but they only succeed in proving his point.

It is the self righteous who label others, RINO or otherwise. Get over yourself.
Gov. Huntsman will be missed. We'll all be fortunate if he can get China to assist us against the North Koreans and their weapons of mass destruction.

Huntsman is na Obama lite. Whey else would he have been chosen? Glad to see him go.

I can't get over myself and I do hope he will help us with China. I hope he will help China understand that if the U.S. is to become a truly socialist nation by bankrupting us, then letting S.Alinskiites do their thing.

Good riddance. If you think a Dem has a chance in UT, let one run. The result will be the same. If 45% of Utahans consider themselves strong Republicans, why is Cannon out of office? Why will Bennett and Hatch soon follow suit? See: Evaluation of Hatch and bennett on Facebook

No one in Utah is benefiting from Huntsman leaving. The Lt. Gov. Herbert didn't even go to college and is going to funnel money to his developer friends and put people in office who don't belong there but will help him when he loses in the next election. I am so glad we'll get to send him back to Provo in 2010.
