(RINO) Huntsman trounces Limbaugh in poll

Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. bests controversial conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh in a new national poll about the direction of the Republican Party.
The Democratic strategy and polling group Democracy Corps found that more Americans prefer Huntsman's moderate approach to Limbaugh's premise that the GOP must move further to the right, 57 percent to 37 percent, according to Politico.com.
As the GOP struggles to recover from last November's loss of the White House, Limbaugh is increasingly being seen as the party's leader. He was cheered at the recent annual meeting of the national Conservative Political Action Committee for saying the party needed to return to its conservative roots to start winning again.
But Huntsman has been attracting national attention as a moderate, thanks to his support of climate change and civil unions and condemnation of his party's lack of alternatives to the Democrat's federal stimulus package. He has been touted as a possibly presidential candidate in 2012.
"The poll shows a majority of Americans are in line with the governor's belief that we need solution-oriented leaders," Huntsman spokeswoman Lisa Roskelley said, carefully avoiding any mention of Limbaugh.

What's a Huntsman? Seriously, so many people trying to horn in on Limbaugh's fame and popularity. So, was this a poll of Demonrats? Moderates? I find it hard to believe it was a national republican poll. NE rinos? Okay, sure, but national? What's a Huntsman?
