Fred is very capable in any political scenario. Best of luck to him.

this guy does not stand a shot. he's been married half dozen times and that just wont work in the conservative state of utah.

Fred is a highly capable individual. He past will likely play against him though. He is married to a woman more than 20 years his junior and has a new baby. He has all of the qualities of the typical big-shot CEO.

Take out Matheson! | 6:06 p.m. Oct. 26, 2009

Fred should run against "bail-out" Jim. YOu know Jim will also vote for the stinking health care bill. Fred would do well against him.

Fred L is a good choice | 11:51 p.m. Oct. 26, 2009

for something. I still wish we had him instead of Huntsman, but that is past.

I like Herbert for Governor.
I like Eagar for Senate 2010.

For Hatch's 2012 seat, I like Mike Lee or Jason Chaffetz.

I would love to have him knock Jim Matheson out of the park. He could run in 2010 against Matheson as far as I am concerned.

Not known the guy for long but he has proven to me he has great integrity. I would support him for whatever he runs for. Run Fred Run!

I'm a Democrat, and I hope Fred runs too. At least with Hatch, Bennett and Herbert there's a little bit of integrity. With Fred, well, let's make him the Republican nominee and help make Utah bipartisan again.

Wonder if Fred will get a new spouse, every time he runs a new lady pops up..

There is no one who could do more for this state and the economy than Fred Lampropoulos. He has an absolutely brilliant business mind. He has enormous energy and vision. If he is not running now...Herbert would do well to ask for Fred's assistance.

Anne-Marie is an outstanding, wonderful person and their son is the light of their lives.

There isn't hardly a charity that they have not helped. They are generous and kind and thoughtful.

How absolutely awesome he would be to represent this state. And what a bright and gorgeous bonus Anne-Marie would bring to the table.

I guess you could say he spent his own money on his last campaign. Or you could say he pumped and dumped his Merit Medical Stock to the detriment of the other stockholders and spent phantom money that would have disappeared if he hadn't run for governor.

Fred actually runs out of the Republican main stream group, which would get him my vote.
I like his energy and his business prowess.
Good luck to him and his future politicol endeavors.
