Jon Huntsman lost me when he said tweeted, “I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy.” Since when has been insulting your party’s voters been a winning formula? Huntsman had started to lose me during an August debate, when Fox News moderator Bret Baier asked GOP hopefuls to raise their hands if they would walk away from a deficit-reduction deal with a ratio of $10 in spending cuts to every $1 in tax increases, and they all raised their hands. Including Huntsman.
The fact that Democrats have taken the time to email me extolling Huntsman as their kind of Republican doesn’t exactly boost my view of him. . . .

No, Huntsman, Michael Savage is NOT going to offer you a million bucks to pull out of the race
In spite of all the monkeys running for the GOP nomination, evolution has not been proven.
How ‘bout two bits ?
I wish someone would offer me a $1M to pull out.
He is setting himself up to run third party as a favor to his globalist overlords, with the intention of bleeding off the center votes needed by the Republican candidate.
This will enhance his status with the overlords and secure a plum choice post in The Regime.
If Obama wins.
Don’t doubt you at all, but who the hell would vote for huntsman? The guy has no redeeming qualities. I just don’t see the appeal, to anyone on either side. The only reason he is “in the running,” is because of his family’s money.

Objectively, I agree with you. Huntsman is unacceptable. However, the Liberal media love him. Just watch “Morning Joe” on MSLSD some morning. If he ran third party, they would fawn all over him, and draw sharp contrasts between him and the Republican. There are still a third or so of the voters in this country in the middle, and enough of them just might vote for Huntsman to secure another four years for Baraq X.
Me. Of course he has ‘redeeming qualities’ as you put it. There’s a little thing like his record to consider.
Successful tax-cutting governor of one of the most conservative states in the nation.
Firmly pro-life.
Firmly pro-gun.
Served his country three times in ambassadorial roles. Wishes to rein in our foreign entanglements, which is a traditionally conservative position.
Has an economic plan that, in the opinion of The Wall Street Journal, is the best in the race.
Has a bold plan to deal with ‘Too Big To Fail’ banks using the FREE MARKET.
I could go on..... No candidate is perfect, but I respectfully submit that Jon Huntsman has more than one or two ‘redeeming qualities.’
