SALT LAKE CITY - (ABC 4 News) - There is one republican presidential candidate that President Barack Obama's campaign manager fears the most in 2012...and his name is Jon Huntsman Jr.

This week for Governor Huntsman, good things are coming in threes.

Not just the fear from the Obama campaign, but also an important phone call and a weekend spent testing the waters in a key primary state.

Is this guy the RINO who likes illegals?

[TruthHound]

McCain part deux.

GOP nominates anything but a true CONSERVATIVE and it’s Øbama for 4 more. PERIOD.

[St. Louis Conservative]

Huntsman is another McCain-esque RINO who is pro-cap and trade and pro-gay marriage. The fact that Obama’s people are PUBLICLY propping the guy up means that Republicans should run far away from him.

[Alas Babylon!]

Yeah, right. “Br’er Fox, don’t be throwin’ me yonder into that there briar patch!”

Huntsman is quelle RINO, no? And we saw what Obama did to the lead RINO in November.

The GOP needs an articulate conservative not afraid to call a spade a spade (and no I don’t mean it that way, it’s an expression is all).

[SoConPubbie]

This is what is called a SETUP!

Just think McCain and it will all come clear to you.

[Sarah Barracuda]

HAHA WOW, Obama is a comedian, afraid of a guy that I’ve never even heard of. No seriously, who is he? Governor of Utah right? Come on Obama, at least pick someone who most people sorta know, make it a little interesting.

[KoRn]

Since we are reading this, Huntsman is obviously the one they would most love to run against.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

John Huntsman, Jr.

He even looks like Romney...

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

In fact, Jowers concludes, "There’s no question that Huntsman is, perhaps, the most talked about republican in the country right now."

So all of these articles and news reports about Sarah Palin we've been seeing are figments of our imagination?

And since anyone with any sense knows that the exact opposite of what this administration is saying is usually the real truth.
Thus, there is no fear whatsoever of Huntsman and he is someone they believe can be beat.

who is pro-cap and trade

If true... that alone will NOT get him my vote...

[Hodar]

I live in Utah, and I fear that RINO too!! What’s a matter, isn’t Al Gore available for a RINO ticket??

[Clintonfatigued]

Is this true, or just a targeted leak?

[Vigilanteman]

In fact, Jowers concludes, "There’s no question that Huntsman is, perhaps, the most talked about republican in the country right now."

Who's doing the talking? His father was a fine stand-up guy (self-made multimillionaire who has done more for cancer research than any government program), but what has Jr. done? Pennsylvanians thought they were getting Bob Casey Sr. when they elected the mime and ended up with another rubberstamp for Oba Mao.

[rocksblues]

The ones they praise are not the ones they fear. It is the ones they constantly attack that they fear.

[philman_36]

I see others pointed out the painfully obvious well before I arrived.

[appeal2]

How many wives does he have?

[Diggity]

If Republicans nomincate another so call conservavtive then Obama will be re elected.

When will Republicans learn that the Republicans can’t expect to be an extension of the PTL club and win the white house??

The issue we can win on is cutting out government. Let’s concentrate on that and winning the house in 2010.

Sounds like this Huntsman guy will get a bus, yeah, that’s the ticket, called the “Straight Talk Express”, yeaaahh. And the media will love him, adore him, and give him all the airtime he needs. Yup. Until after he wins the Primaries, and then stick him like a pig. It’ll be McCain, Part II. (or III...)
