You may not know a lot about Huntsman yet but here are a few key facts....
He's essentially John McCain without the war record and goofy daughter.
He's also the guy liberals in the media are talking up as a real threat to Obama. You know you can trust those guys because they have the best interest of Republicans and conservatives at heart.
Well, the guys at Verum Serum are getting out in front of this early and trying to make sure everyone knows who Huntsman really is. (Click Link to Watch Video)

Lets all just agree there are other candidates and leave this one behind.
As a staunch conservative, I’m interested in who can get elected. The Republican candidate has to carry some key “battleground” states: Florida, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Ohio; maybe Michigan and Nevada. The other states probably won’t move out of their blue or red status.
Who is that candidate? Critical analysis appreciated.
I don’t really think we have to worry about him. He has zero name recognition and no major accomplishments to run on. I bet he doesn’t win a single primary, except maybe as a long shot, Nevada.
“without the goofy daughter”. LOL! It is so odd that the GOpers who do not want to run are the ones who could beat Obama.
This guy has less of a chance than Herman Cain so there is nothing for you to worry about in this regard.
Agreed. No need to worry about him. If Huntsman is remotely competitive in the running, it means the remaining field is so incredibly weak that we are screwed anyway.
Any Republican nominee is going to have a great chance in Florida, Ohio and North Carolina unless the economy gets significantly better.
Any Republican is going to have a hard time winning Pennsylvania.
You left out some real battleground states -- Colorado, Iowa and New Mexico.
But, to answer the question. I like a candidate like Herman Cain that has the charisma, oratory and debating skills to win over independents.
Any competent candidate, though, would have a great chance of winning the states Bush won if the election were today.
I’ve heard he is a cap and trade guy at one time.
Huntsman looks as bad if not worse than Romney.
his own words define him as a progressive.
Hunstman is their ‘plant’.
No Republican should even consider voting for him. His candidacy would entirely be a creation of 0bama and his propagandists in the media. He was 0bama’s ambassador to China, for crying out loud. The beltway and media leftists began floating his name months ago in a subtle way.
Don’t fall for it folks!
Old power doesn’t give up easy, but the Tea Party has a real opportunity to change the Republican establishment. Keep pushing back.
