This has me pretty aggravated. The Governor, who campaigned on vouchers, and signed them into law, is choosing to keep a low profile during the current debate.
He claims that it’s enough for him to state his support for vouchers when asked about it, and to personally vote for it in November. But as a voucher proponent, I say that’s not nearly enough. Since he campaigned on this issue, what he’s doing now, in abandoning vouchers in the 11th hour, amounts to breaking his campaign promise in my eyes.
It’s not as if he’s too busy to campaign for it. All he’s been doing recently is pushing his ridiculous “Lights Out” program and attending meetings on climate change, neither of which will have any effect on his constituents.
If he doesn’t want to come out and fight for the voucher program over the next month, then I see no reason why I should support him next November.

Two words, Craig: political expediency. Governor Huntsman doesn\’t need your vote anymore. He\’s an incumbent Republican in Utah.
I agree with Tom. Huntsman is no longer in touch with those who elected him. Our governor has fallen prey to the “hype” coming from the activist groups surrounding our elected officials.
