Yeah, Romney is a closet liberal and old style Mormon. Huntsman is less strict religiously in addition to being the ONLY candidate running with both successful political and corporate experience who has done great things for the state of Utah and equally great things for America. He is the ONLY candidate that understands the challenges of International Trade, and even more importantly, he understands how to introduce low tax, high growth business friendly, job friendly policies.
People are going to vote for their jobs and lives - not whether a candidate walks like Reagan or was born into a different religion. At least make the case for a different candidate instead of bashing to death the most promising one already in the race.
How can he be a good general election candidate when the base hates him? How can he run against an administration that he was a part of? Why would a Marxist like Obama pick Huntsman for any position if he is supposedly such a good conservative?
