I’ve not exactly witnessed a groundswell of demand for Huntsman to run for President. Why is he so convinced? What little I’ve seen of him, he’s not exactly personable. There doesn’t seem to be any strong, motivating issue for him. It seems more of an entitlement mentality than anything else, to me. Can someone shed light on this? It’s something of a mystery to me.

With the recent Romney, Bush, and now Huntsman talk, the media is in full-on assault mode against conservatism. This is a war against the media. They are going against those that will not be brainwashed and mindlessly fall into line. Hopefully this time we will spend less time fighting with each other over which crook is the best, and more time attacking the root cause of the problem: the media.
We should "photobomb" any media camera we come across. Make a "C" with your fingers for "Conservative". I dunno. We should do something though.

Labels I like:
Paleo Conservative
Constitutionalist
Labels I don’t like:
Parliamentarian. We are constitutionally NOT a parliamentary form of Government. We are a Constitutional Republic.

He’s hoping this election he might actually get out of “*” territory in the polls and see the heady heights of 1 or 2%!

My next door neighbor is a raging liberal but she thinks Huntsman is impressive.
Tells me all I need to know.

The former Twelfth Lady and Princess Liawatha would love that.You can be sure that they'll work,behind the scenes,to make it happen.

I wish people would do some research into the “No Labels” and who they are and what they stand for so we can all recognize how dangerous they are.
Things like no negative campaigns against incumbents (No mention of outsiders) and giving presidents absolute free reign over appointments.

He’s a fine Democrat.
They run as “independents” or faux Republicans (as Huntsman has int he past) to split vote or avoid the stigma of their beliefs.

“No Labels” is just a Democrat organization.

Just saying.
In the last week or so, it seems every non-appealing candidate has someone praising them.

You are right. There IS no groundswell for Huntsman. Not 1 in 10,000 Americans knows him or cares. I believe that like many issues, its the media creating the narrative, for political reasons.

Fundraising would be a massive obstacle, one his campaign struggled with mightily in 2012.I don't even remember him running.
