In an interview with ABC’s “The View,” presidential candidate Jon Huntsman rebuked former Gov. Sarah Palin for “stringing people along” as she decided whether to run for president.
“There’s too much drama and theater in politics,” Huntsman told the co-hosts in an appearance that was pre-empted for President Obama’s jobs plan speech. “I mean come on. You string people along. Everybody who has anything to do with politics knew she wasn’t going to get in the race. She has a profit proposition, she’s got a business. She makes money doing what she’s doing. Who on earth is going to leave that for the uncertainty of presidential politics?”
When asked if he believed her decision was made because she wanted to spend more time with her family, Huntsman answered, “Hey, my family is here. I get to spend time with my family.”
Huntsman was joined on the show with his wife, Mary Kaye. Three of his daughters were also in the audience.
Now that Palin and Gov. Chris Christie are officially out, Huntsman believes the field is still open for a new front-runner to spring forward. In an interview after the show, Huntsman told ABC News that Herman Cain’s surge in the polls shows “that there is a large segment of the voting population out there that is still very unsettled and very undecided about this race and that leads to real opportunities for all of us.”

So Huntsman joins the leftists in kicking Sarah no matter what she does? GFY, Mr. Huntsman.
Jon who?
Speaking of wasting our time and stage space.......
Just what the nation is looking for, an ex-Obama staffer....
Hey GOP - send this idiot to the showers now! Make up any rule of process necessary, but DO NOT let him participate with his farce of a candidacy any longer!
Not even! Been watching Cain. Looking better and learns fast. Unlike others who shall remain nameless and formless.
Huntsman? Huntsman who?
Why am I not surprised this jerk would say something like this?
Who is Huntsman again?
FU, pig!
I want him to challenge Obama in their primary.
I see Obama’s puppet is back to running his fat trap. I think Huntsman has what, 2 percent of the vote so far..basically my dog could beat Huntsman in a race
I see Huntsman is angling to reduce his support in the GOP from .05 to .001.
You know what? From what I've seen and heard the past few weeks, it sounds as if it's accurate.
Why are so many apparently offended by the amount of money she makes and don't see her as willing to say, "That's all I need" and walk away?
Oh, and BTW, Jon, any of those children of yours special needs toddlers?
Ass.
Not a fan of Huntsman, but I am disappointed and angry at Sarah Palin.
huntsman is still working for obama
“So Huntsman joins the leftists in kicking Sarah no matter what she does?”
There was too much of that going on here on FR last night as well. I hope it was just trolls. It would be painful knowing we have that many incentive, ugly, mean spirited people posting on a conservative forum. And I thought the 2007/08 infighting was bad.
It’s her own business what she did and how she did it. She didn’t break any rules. What’s the problem with that?
