And so you should state your opinion! Apologise for coming to the obvious conclusion that the vast majority of conservatives would be FAR better off under a Huntsman presidency than a Romney one? That’s just logic.
If anyone is ‘offended’ at a post praising Jon Huntsman, you can put this in your pipe and smoke it: I for one believe that he is our best choice for the presidency. He has a FAR more conservative record than most people here will admit. From being a tax-cutting governor, having a consistently solid pro-life record, an excellent pro-gun record, to a bold economic plan which tackles ‘Too Big To Fail’ banks with market solutions.
Huntsman over Romney by a mile. In fact, in my opinion, Huntsman over all the candidates by a mile.
We are allowed to passionately support our candidates on this site. Except for Romney, I have never attacked one of our candidates here, I have only defended mine. I will cheerfully continue to do so.
He isn’t perfect (nobody is) but I’m a proud supporter of Jon Huntsman for president.
Excellent news about the Globe endorsement!

I watched him in the debate. He was impressive in his confidence, knowledge and clear expression. I found him personable in a somewhat aloof and cool way. Nothing wrong with that, and much better than most politicians.
As for his policies he could only be called a conservative in the post-Bush ideological wreckage of the GOP and hyphenated-conservatism. He is a classic cold war liberal. That -is- about as conservative as any neocon, but doesn’t meet my standards. He would have perfectly fit into the JFK administration - same strengths same weaknesses. But I would color him the same as an extinct species, the patriotic Democrat.
I concur with you on Huntsman over Romney by a mile. I disagree on Huntsman over any of the other candidates by a mile. I could support Huntsman in the general, whereas if Romney gets in it is war with the GOP just the same as it is war with the Democrats.
