Hopefully he'll split some of the RINO vote, the more the merrier!

Huntsman is swimming against the tide.
He is not even IN the Harry Poll.
Why? Because he works with OBAMA and the DNC.

Huntsman or Romney...

Both are RINOs..

The WH would just love to have either of them in the GOP slot

[org.whodat]

“I’m so excited”, now what was the topic???

[GeronL]

lol.

I love it when these people try to tell us who to vote for.

[t-dude]

The establishment republicans are starting to PANIC!

Romney has imploded, Huckabee (the one they thought could take Sarah out) isn’t running. Pence isn’t running.

While I’ve always thought Jeb would wait until 2016, he may jump in if they see Sarah really is going to take it...which as of right now, she is in perfect position to do.

Anyone who thinks I’m crazy needs only to look at all the polls and add a majority of Huckabee’s voters to Governor Palin’s column (as they are for the most part Evangelical Voters who Sarah polls very well with.) She’s almost everyone’s second choice, and once they start dropping out, her numbers are just going to increase.

This thing could be over before it starts.

Governor Palin is going to walk away with the nomination and win the White House in a landslide.

Obama sandwich, except both sides are white.

Over the holidays, the ex-governor met with Sen. John McCain, whose 2008 presidential run Huntsman backed early on. In a discussion with the senator, who is the ranking member of the Armed Services Committee, about a variety of issues,

Huntsman backed McCain early on? That won't exactly recommend him to many conservative voters, or even not so conservative Republicans who oppose McCain's amnesty schemes, which was the main issue McCain was identified with early in the 2007 - 2008 primary campaigns.

[ScottinVA]

Obama “braces” for a Huntsman run?

Sounds like a “don’t throw me into that briarpatch” moment.

[Lakeshark]

I wonder if they're playing Huntsman to go third party?

He sure isn't going to get far in the republican primaries.......

[Stosh]

I keep hearing about this nobody - is he supposed to be 2012 Soros/DNC/MSM answer for McCain? (I’m assuming they’ve figured out they can’t stick us with that excuse for a candidate again).

[NeoCaveman]

So he’s going to quit his job with the Obama administration which he took when he quit his job as governor of Utah.

[MindBender26]

This is nothing more than Politico BS; printing a Huntsman PR release.

[curth]

Say hello to Journolists latest Republican contender (anybody but Palin) of the week.

[Utah Binger]

White Horse Prophecy Ping

[Daisyjane69]

As someone in St. George, UT, I can safely tell you that this is the funniest thing I will read all week....and it’s only Monday. LOL

It would take a miracle for Huntsman to be reelected governor here, despite the massive amount of goodwill toward his dad.

LMAO

[fluffdaddy]

If Huntsman is seriously considering a run, Romney must be seriously considering taking a pass. Anyone who knows Utah and the tight-knit Morman community centered there knows that there won't be two LDS candidates in one national race.

In any case, Huntsman is a nonstarter. Like Romney, he is fundamentally in accord with Obama’s progressive world view. He can't win a Republican nomination, if he could he couldn't beat Obama and even if he did manage to move into 1600 Pennsylvania Ave he would do nothing to deflect us from our disastrously progressive course. If the 2012 election is our progressive against their progressive, we should all hope that their progressive wins. We don't need the guilt by association. Better for all concerned if Huntsman stays in China and Romney retires.

[svcw]

Maybe he an Romney can run together on the dem ticket where they belong.

[altura]

Huntsman has about as much name recognition as my dog.

Way too late for him to establish himself.

I never heard of him until this thing came up about his resigning from Obamaville and running.

[Vigilanteman]

Let's sum up who the endemedia are pushing hardest:

1. Romney-- he can raise money but not votes. And while the Massachusetts health care train-wreck is not quite as bad as ObamaCare, not even the best tap dancing around the issue is going to convince the public of the differences.
   
2. Huckabee-- he can raise votes but not money. Jimmy Swaggart and Elmer Gantry had their days. And Huck has had his.
   
3. Rudy Guilani-- thanks to the enemedia, the America who was once impressed with Rudy's handling of the 9-11 aftermath has largely forgotten about 9-11. He'd not even in also-ran status of the previously two mentioned RINO's.
   
4. Jon Huntsman-- lacks the great hair of Mitt Romney, the folksy charm of Mike Huckabee and the big city profile of Rudy Guilani. What's left?

[dennisw]

Jon Huntsman>>>

I could care less if he is a RINO. I’ll gladly vote for him over Obama and this guy can whip Obama’s skinny scurvy arse. Huntsman has the money connections to raise the big bucks. You know who his father is?

If Huntsman were president would he be directing the EPA to clamp down on Texas oil refineries? Would he be impeding Gulf oil drilling and production?

What kind of business background does this guy have?
