It wasn’t Mitt Romney. Jon Huntsman is the former Utah governor who took a moderate stance in a GOP field that leaned to the right. He didn’t get very far in the Republican nomination fight, but team Obama viewed him as a serious candidate who could pose real problems in a general election.

Mhmm, yeah.
John Huntsman and Tim pawlenty should have kicked all ass in the history of ass.
Go for it GOP, hopefully the libs will vote you in, because I sure won’t.
THE FIX WAS IN NO MATTER WHO RAN IT WAS A RIGGED ELECTION.
“Please, Brer Fox, please don’t throw me into the briar patch.”
We might as well elect Obama.
Democrat beats Democrat-Lite everytime.....might as well vote for the real thing.
You are right, this is psy ops bull shit.
He would have made obama the perfect VP. They are both rich and marxists.
LLS
And then obama found out Huntsman was a "Republican" not a dem and then he stopped worrying.
Read this article and see they were promoting Huntsman all along.
If huntsman couldn’t beat Pawlenty, Bachman etc, how formidable could he have been?
B.S.
Four years out and the left is already working on picking our easily beatable, milquetoast candidate for us.
Huntsman was the only candidate even further to the left than Romney.
It was not for nothing that Obama chose him as his Ambassador to Communist China, a very important post.
As noted, both Huntsman and Romney were the chosen ‘agents’ but he Obama regime to create the illusion of free elections.
This is Cook County gone national into how the Soviet’s did things.
Yes, the Soviet’s had ‘elections’ too. They were theater pieces to create an illusion that the majority of Russians loved and supporters the Communist Party cabal and their anointed leaders.
Same damn thing here.
We saw our last free and honest national elections back in 2008.
Such B/S, every day... just more B/S.
Peter Nicholas ought to wake up and smell the coffee burning. WSJ consistently gives him assignments that make him look bad...
ROTFLOL No they didn’t.
Is that the election that had certain Democrat counties in Indiana voting RV 105-110%? You might want to calibrate -4 there ...
