Huntsman appears to be the liberals’ current favorite Designated Loser.

Huntsman is a danger to conservatism....he’s real smooth...watched an interview the other day with george stephonopolos (sp). He’s Obama’s butt boy.

So Huntsman is one of those RINO’s who thinks its his job to lose the general election.

Why would Huntsman, or anyone, follow the playbook of a loser like McCain?

The idea of spending bookoo bucks, recruiting a large crew for volunteer work and spending a year and a half of your life running for president is to win.

Following the footsteps of someone who failed would seem likely to end with the same result.

Seems like a rather pointless exercise.

Huntsman has been working for the State Dept. does not matter how long or short of a time you are there that culture will infect a person! It is the “if we can only sit down and talk we can settle our differences” attitude. It leads nowhere. Being elected to the U.S. Senate does the same thing!

McCain was a survivor. Hero? I dunno. Anyway, that was a long time ago and he hasn't exactly covered himself with honor the last forty years or so.

Simple. He thinks McCain had a handle on the election but blew it. He is probably right.

He thinks he won't make the same mistakes. He is probably wrong.

A republican nominee kneeling before McCain we don’t need!! It’s best to see McCain as a democrat and be done with it. Everything becomes clearer that way.

Dems should just go on ahead and name Huntsman “Man of the Year” - I hate when they pick the Republican candidate.

It is not a pointless exercise if your instincts are RINO centered.

True.

Huntsman is paying his respect to the stumbled and fallen self-appointed heir apparent of 2008.

Another self serving politician seeking anointment from the politically debauched at the Temple of Baseless Politicians.

You have to get serious and bold and call the Leftwingtards LEFTISTS, COMMUNIST SYMPATHIZERS, etc.

You might think RINO means something, but it's only to you ~ not to the general public.

They know what commies and pinkos are.

This particular guy could be denounced on the grounds that he's just another rich boy willing to sell his country out for another load of stainless steel utensils, or maybe some plastic bottles.

The States gotta get rid of open primaries so that the progressives can’t push RINO’s like this guy to become the GOP candidate in 2012.
