Huntsman’s family gave nearly $25,000 to Reid last cycle
Las Vegas Sun ^ | 6/22/11 | Jon Ralston

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who said this week he prefers Jon Huntsman to Mitt Romney in the GOP Mormon presidential primary, has taken a lot of money from the Huntsman family, and the former Utah governor appointed Reid’s son, Josh, to Utah’s Board of Regents.

So no wonder Reid said Tuesday, “If I had a choice in that race, I’d choose Huntsman over Romney.”

If he donated big to Reid, he doesn’t make it to “moderate” in my book. He’s a lefty in a RINO suit.

I would still like to know who has encouraged him to run. He has virtually no name recognition and is all but indistinguishable from Romney.

Huntsman is at best boring. I watched his "announcement". It was a yawner.

Huntsman knows Obama is out. He is only in the race to see if he can get a following and leverage that in to pushing that following on to the frontrunner at some point. In return for some cushy job in the next administration.

I wish him good luck. He is going to need it. I doubt he will be around in 90 days.

The field of Blue Dog RINOs is getting pretty thick.

Was listening to Hannity pimp for Huntsman yesterday on the radio.

Huntsman: like a soldier who died before he got out of the landing craft at Normandy.

Huntsman should challenge Obamallah for the Dem nomination - he’d probably do better there than here.

I see now why Reid was quick to endorse this Liberal yesterday. Why don't you run in the party that fits you Jon? The Rats.

You just pulled a Newt here Jon. Your campaign is dead.
