I will not vote for Paul, Romney or Huntsman if any where to win the nomination - Period!!
I will vote all other offices, just not president.
I'll write in "Tim Tebow" (so he isn't 35 yet.)
That's been my position as well. I might have held my nose and voted for McCain but Romney is a bridge way too far.
If I'm accused of electing Obama by my actions, so be it. I think that Obama with a hostile Congress would do less damage to our nation than Romney with a compliant Congress. Even a strongly-conservative Congress would have difficulty contending seriously with a President of their own party. Besides, the Republican establishment needs to hear us once and for all: NO MORE RINOS.
And the President will thank you for your support.
What do you have against Huntsman? He's perfectly sane (unlike the good doctor), has a reasonable conservative track record (unlike Romney), is largely free of baggage (unlike Gingrich). And he's on an upward trajectory in the polls.
Utah is a red state. Huntsman won his first term as governor with 58% and his second by 78%.
Some have expressed dismay at his ambassadorship to China. But, if David Petraeus had thrown his hat in the ring, would you hold it against him that he had been Obama's DCI? The fact is, Petraeus was well qualified to be DCI. And Huntsman was well qualified to be ambassador to China, knowing the language and having already been ambassador to Singapore under GHWB, at 32, the youngest US ambassador in 100 years. Would you rather Zero had appointed one of his czar types to either of those posts? Huntsman's ambassadorship to China is just another resume item in his favor.
