Washington (CNN) - After wrapping up a five day swing through the first in the nation primary state of New Hampshire, Jon Huntsman heads to Maine Monday afternoon to meet with former President George H.W. Bush.
Huntsman is expected to have lunch with former President Bush and first lady Barbara Bush at their compound Kennebunkport.
The former Utah governor and probable 2012 GOP White House hopeful has something in common with the former president: Both served as U.S. ambassadors to China.
Huntsman's announcement earlier this year that he was stepping down from his post in Beijing to return to the U.S. was a major hint that he was seriously considering a bid for the Republican presidential nomination.

Is Huntsman a genuine Conservative or is he a RINO?
much like the party elite ignored the massive threat of our current debt when they were last in power, their heads remain in the sand for dealing with the current threat. If we do not win in 2012, this country will never return to its previous greatness.
Huntsman supported Obama’s “stimulus” bill in 2009. Need anything else be said?
If you do not like Huntsman then pray for a Bush endorsement.
Jon Who?
He is meeting with the Bush family,does that not tell you everything you need to know?
Let him. He is a loser after all. The establishment has been marginalized and exposed as of late for what they really are, Progressive insiders. Huntsman is just someone belonging to the chattering classes to talk about. He has zero name recognition, he is an ex Obummer employee and he has a thin record of accomplishment.
Huntsman is an open-borders, RINO phony. In Utah he is considered to be the bored little rich boy playing politics. But he is a grave threat to derail conservatism from the GOP with his family's finances. La Raza would be THRILLED to have Huntsman as nominee.
That’s why I refuse to donate to the “elite” Republican party!! Better to donate to THE candidate of choice.
He is doing lunch with a Bush.
That would be all I need to know.
There’s an awful lot of talk about Huntsman, and I don’t even know what he looks like!
Huntsman isn’t even a RINO. He’s a damned leftist who was chosen by Obama for the key position of Ambassador to China.
I hope the weather in Kennedbunkport is nice, and they take him out for a ride in their speedboat.
He was a liberal republican governor and worked for obama as abmbassador to RED china... what do you think?
LLS
bush... the one world order elitist failure and second father to billy jeff clinton. I dislike that family.
LLS
NWO. Bushie. Compassionate Communist.
Beware this. If daddy bush is vetting, so is bill clinton.
Huntsman is no different than the Vichy French who collaborated with the Nazis.
