Jon Huntsman: Who the media is really in the tank for
June 15, 2011

Posted on 06/15/2011 4:21:22 AM PDT by ejdrapes

Joe Scarborough said this morning on Morning Joe: "rank and file Republicans are hungry for a guy like Huntsman". Then as the show progressed they started making fun of Rick Perry.

If the media is pushing anyone is Jon Huntsman. The MSM may have declared Bachmann the winner (along with Romney) of the debate on Monday night (as did conservative media), but they're not in the tank for her. Now that Huntsman has announced watch them push the meme that he's so smart and eloquent that he's the only one who can beat Obama..

MSM going gaga over Huntsman. How is he any different from Romney? They keep telling us there's no room for both Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin in the primary yet Jon Huntsman and Mitt Romney is no problem. What a bunch of hypocrites.

That's Joe ~ and Huntsman is just Romney "lite".

Maybe his daddy is going to buy MSNBC for him or something.

He’s more liberal than Romney.

And he won’t win here in Utah. Romney will win here unless the Huntsman/Romney factions dig in a kill each other (which is possible).

If that happens, Palin will win. She has a lot of support here, despite the fact she isn’t LDS.

Huntsman is not going anywhere. Folks who really like Romney already have Romney. Why do they need to look elsewhere?

Huntsman will never make it out of the low single digits, no matter how much they plug him. It is a testament to just how low the MSM have sunk that they can pull on that lever all they want, and nobody cares.

Just keep picturing a presidential debate between Obama and HIS OWN ambassador.

I just took an aspirin.

If Huntsman wins this state in the primary, I will strip naked and walk to SLC without sunscreen.

He makes Romney look like Barry Goldwater.

All I know is that Obama gave ambassadorships to people who helped him win the presidency.

French libtard medias began the M.Bachman’s bashing today....and they linked her to S.Palin...OMG !

They didn’t know her name a week ago....and they are following the orders.
It probably means that M.Bachman threatens the libtardland

Chris Matthews got it right on his show last night. There’s no where for Huntsman to go. The unsettled/open space is to the right of Romney and Huntsman certainly doesn’t appeal to that space.

First of all, Joe Scab-borough wouldn’t know a rank and file Republican if one came up and smacked him upside the head. Second, Huntsman reminds me of Charlie Crist.

He’s just another Mormon RINO. I think it’s perceived that Romney may not have much of a chance to get the nomination(despite the bizarre “surveys” they keep presenting), so the press is dropping the mantle on the shoulders of Huntsman now.

If the all in all left wing media is pushing Huntsman, it is likley that they have determined he is the most beatable of potential Repub candidates.

I didn’t see anyone in that debate that I want to vote for.

I think I will write in, I am tired of voting against, by voting for the best of a bad lot.

Scarborough claims he was a ‘rock star’ in NYC yesterday. Obviously he wants another 4 years of Obama.

He (Huntsman) makes Romney look like Barry Goldwater.

Which is what I think his purpose is (making Romney LOOK like he more conservative)...

Huntsman is very wealthy courtesy of his father and has hired the best political strategy and PR firms out there to back his candidacy. What you're seeing in the MSM right now is the fruit of his spending.

Just to be clear---he has NO chance because:

1) He quit--not once but TWICE and for completely selfish reasons---first as governor to kiss Obama's arse and become his Ambassador to China, and then his ambassador's job after he realized that Obama's stock was plunging and that he was about to miss the boat for 2012.

2) He actually thought that the stimulus was not big enough.

3) He has no problem with an individual mandate.

This should tell folks everything they need to know about this loser.

Jon Huntsman’s love letters

June 15, 2011 Huntsman thought Obama’s stimulus plan wasn’t big enough

Huntsman’s mandate problem gets much worse
