All BS aside...who would be the best Governor for Utah? Hint...I know it ain't Huntsman....just another Romney. Curious...

Yup. Cox has the quals. Huntsman has been running some great feelgood ads ,but I dont think he is a great choice.

These are the kind of "polls" that count and mean more about where we stand.

Cox by default. Hughes rough around the edges, Huntsman slick Washington political insider.

Huntsman says he has a great economic plan for Utah. He has a great plan count on it, but its not for the Utahans. Its for him and associates and out of state associates, (and some in state-- Romney real estate trust)
that will be building the new silicon valley in Tooele county next to the private air port (called Skywalk or some BS). An IT center using a large portion of the green card IT folks talked about in posts elsewhere on this forum. The others green cards will go to the IT Amazon center located in Harriman, one square mile of computers and associated parking lots. Thank Mike Lee for that.
At least with Cox as gov. the borders of Utah do not stop at Provo and Ogden, Park City and West Valley

I don't think the voters have much to say on who will be governor. He will be picked by the Quorum of Twelve Apostles right?
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Hughes' running mate, Iverson, our current county commissioner, hasn't exactly been a friend of our local range. Like most local politicians, he seems to favor economic development and tourism over local quality of life. One of my sources opined that Cox is too cozy with the Democrats.
So, who to support? I'm between Cox and Hughes for now.

My son-in-law doesn't like that Cox brings religion to public meetings but I can look past that. Hughes seems like a loose cannon and I don't like Huntsman.

Huntsman wants to double our GDP, which needs to double the population.
His claim is we need to be the crossroads of the WORLD--no thanks.
Cox is too tight to Herbert and herbert was piss poor regarding gun rights.
Hughes came to the EXPO dinner and spoke well in regards to defending the 2nd, I chose Hughes.

Huntsman had his chance, left us to work for Obama, not getting my vote. Cox seems like a good enough dude, but at the moment I'm leaning Hughes.

Huntsman's staff pretty uniformly regarded him as spineless.
Also, just before he left to be ambassador to China, there were rumblings of scandal about him improperly influencing the award of contracts for I-15 construction. Of course, when he left for China, those questions about the contract awards went away.

Which one has the best chance to beat Huntsman, Cox or Hughes? Opinions I have not cared for Herbert, he has been way too liberal for my taste. Anyone "freindly" with China is suspect to me, ha. Then of course, I hate, loathe and am repulsed by anyone/anything "Communist".

Someone who knows Mike Lee should ask HIM and go from there. Lee is exactly what Utah needed to send to the Senate, too bad he doesn't have a brother.

I wonder if any of the people that don't get elected governor will go after Romney in the primaries in a couple of years? A lot of people here are dissatisfied with him.

How long does it take these "Vote counters" to sort this all out? I know reading and comprehension is not easy for some of them!

Looks like Burgess Owen's, former NFL player is going to be the R facing D Ben McAdams for House #4. I think Burgesss has a good shot at it.
