He's too young and thin to be such a sanctimonious gas-bag.

Running on Empty | 1:25 a.m. March 18, 2008
Let's see, on Saturday Dell was running for mayor. Governor on Monday. Congressman on Wednesday. Senator on Friday. Pope on Sunday. Oh, oh. I don't like the direction this is heading. Tuesday-Wednesday might be a good time to stay indoors and not touch anything metal.
Bill | 4:29 a.m. March 18, 2008
Heck, go for it Dell. You're already acting like a politician by acting like you're above the law.

A fringe candidate, who stands no chance. Why is this article even in the paper? It's not news.
SLC RESIDENT | 5:41 a.m. March 18, 2008
Superdell for public office? I don't think so; He would not stand a chance at playing politics in
New York State, either.

I hope sir, your reserve is well packed and your race is well run. Ought to be Totally Awesome! Good luck.

Superdell against Governor Huntsman? He's got a chance! While the legislature was in session, Governor Huntsman kept threatening to veto SB81, the immigration bill. So they watered it down to practically nothing. I promised myself that anybody who ran against Huntsman would have my vote. Superdell, you've got it!

Superdell for govener???? Well lets see if we want to make Utan the laughing stock of the country then that would be fine... It is scary to even think that he might win!!Please take this serious and don't vote for him because you think it is funny

would add to the already comical perception Utah has outside of its borders.

There is something wrong with this man. If he is not in the news he must think people miss him. THEY
DON'T.
DON'T.
Listen to me | 8:34 a.m. March 18, 2008
No food, no water, all he needs is the sound of his own voice.
Guaglione | 8:38 a.m. March 18, 2008
It might be a nice change to have a non-politician governor. One that actually looks at what's best for the state rather than himself. I'm not saying SuperDell would do that, just that it would be nice if someone would.
Typical Libertarian | 8:40 a.m. March 18, 2008
Candidates like Super Dell remind me of why I stopped supporting the Libertarian Party years ago.
Their candidates are always smart, ambitious, and on the right side of most issues, but they have no political common sense or public-relations skills whatsoever.

Superdell, since politics is something new to you, I have one piece of advise that is also new to you. Engage brain, then open your mouth.
Wayne | 8:49 a.m. March 18, 2008
Dell has less of a chance of winning that BYU making the Sweet 16.
Dick | 8:53 a.m. March 18, 2008
Like we need another pompous windbag on the hill.
Honestly | 9:35 a.m. March 18, 2008
Have Utah politics sunk this low?
Dell for President | 10:37 a.m. March 18, 2008
Come on Shanzee, set your goals high, it's not to late to run for President.
YouGoFirst | 11:53 a.m. March 18, 2008
I suddenly had images from "Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy" and Superdell being like Zaphod. Too bad we don't have a computer running things to complete the image.
John | 12:02 p.m. March 18, 2008
How can you even second guess not voting for this guy? He has inspired us all. Mostly to go buy a mac. Dell if you are reading this, most people here are being sarcastic. No one is really going to vote for you, sorry buddy.
Jackie | 1:09 p.m. March 18, 2008
I think everyone can guarantee themselves that DELL himself is posting most of the positive comments on here. He's that type of guy! No one in their right mind would ever vote for such a guy. He has put himself here for criticism.
Out of sight | 1:33 p.m. March 18, 2008
out of mind - he's addicted to attention - negative or positive - just don't ignore the guy.
I'm wondering how the guy expects to get elected with the evil media out there?
Qualifications? Anyone?
Business acumen - well toss that one out - his store went busted broke.
Law abiding? - toss that one out too - only when it suits him and he isn't needing a media attention fix will this man obey the law.
Merrill Cook would be a better candidate than SuperDell - both are hit with the same craving for attention though - neither can stand to be considered irrelevant.

He would fit in Eagle Mountian nicely!
MOM | 1:41 p.m. March 18, 2008
So my son is running for the governorship of the wonderful State of Utah? Well, why not?! The race is open to adult citizens of the state who have the courage to get involved. Perhaps it would be better if his detractors would throw their hats into the ring, as well, and get involved in something more positive than name calling.
RE:MOM | 2:10 p.m. March 18, 2008
If that is who you really are, your son better get used to being called names and having negativity come his way. It's called politics.
I'd never vote for "Super" Dell simply because of his annoying commercials. I would hate to see what the State of the State address would look like. Unless he was shown being kidnapped and dragged out of the capitol. Also, would he take out negative radio ads against other businesses like he did that dentist a while back? And do we really want a state leader who has his hair cut at Bikini Cuts? If we are going to vote for a "celebrity" I'd rather vote for someone with a bit more muscle tone. Like maybe Marie Osmond or Gary Coleman.

He is like a cross between Steve Urkel, Dennis Rodman, Ted Nugent, and Lee Majors (The Fall Guy).
Only none of the above is as eccentric!
John Huntsman Jr. has cool character. I live in downtown SLC down the street from him. He rides a motorcycle and you just might see him at a Rush concert. How many other Governors are that cool.
Even though I don't agree on several things he does Utah has the highest rated government in the US.
I don't even want to start thinking about what SuperDell will do with our tax dollars.

Hahaah. I "totally" forgot about this guy... And people think Californians are weird. Yikes!

anon 7:41 AM,
Utah already is the laughing stock of the country. Super Dell can't male it any worse.

Riding a motorcycle makes Huntsman cool? Oh! I didn't know riding a motorcycle made a person cool. Thanks for that update! I thought it was the big beer gut that made motorcycle riders cool.
I ride a bicycle and sweat to move down the road. I wish my rippling calves and powerful quads would make me cool! Time to get a motorcycle and up my snack food consumption.

Smarter Than Bush | 4:57 p.m. March 18, 2008
80% of Utahns voted for Bush. Given that contrary indicator, Dell will be fantastic!
Change? | 5:05 p.m. March 18, 2008
This is a great "change" just like Barack has been talking about. Barack and Dell 08.
DefinitionOfCool | 5:16 p.m. March 18, 2008
What about cycling did you think made us look cool to the general public? Was it our goofy helmets? Maybe our spandex, complete with gel padding? Or our cool shoes that make funny sounds when we walk in them. Or perhaps your one of the truly fanatical among us that shaves his legs. Being a cyclist is cool to other cyclists. There's nothing about us, muscles, fitness, 'green-ness' or otherwise that makes us cooler to the general public than bikers are. Plus, the Guv plays a mean rock guitar. Wizard (the guv's high school rock band...) Rules!
Anti Incumbent | 6:03 p.m. March 18, 2008
Just not the Governaire...
I vote for Super Dave Osborn, or even Ozzy before huntsman, his guitar, his shades and millions...
Anyone serious out there, the voters are calling.

But, what the hey. If you don't mind playing the buffoon and you're going to look like a fool pulling a mid-size boner, why not look like a fool pulling a colossal blunder.
If it's attention you want, it's attention you'll get.
