Are you a Republican looking for a more viable alternative to Mitt Romney? Has the cratering of Rick Perry left you feeling hopeless? Do the scandals afflicting Herman Cain make you think he isn't all that electable? Well, there is still a very electable conservative in the race! Surprise it is Jon Huntsman! He has been branded a moderate by the press and by people in his campaign. But take a look at his record and see if it doesn't warm your heart.

No thanks. I will pass on a guy who launched his campaign standing where Reagan stood and promised to disagree with Obama but be nice. He is a plant, an Obama admin serving plant.

Wow, (almost) four years is a long time to hang around before trolling.

I gotta hand it to you, you do have the gift of patience.

No it just pissed me off more at the MSM for such drivel that sop far has no actual merit.

“Every time I see Huntsman speak publicly, I keep expecting him to break down and finally admit that he’s gay.”

LOL! You just made my night.

Huntsman is a liberal idiot and he will never be the nominee.

Any more questions?

Margaret Sanger also had children, but they were certainly NOT her best resume'.

He is the one candidate I put below Mitt Romney on my list. That should say it all.

Jon Huntsman served under Reagan, Bush Sr. and Jr. as well as being Ambassador to China under the current admninistration.

FReepers dismiss him for that last bit, typically, thoughtlessly.

I think the guy's credentials blow away everyone else's with the possible exception of Newt's.

That turned him into a RINO.Ambassador to China matters, no matter who the president is. I think there was a time when the electorate understood that. Clearly that time has past. And that's why people like Obama (and his republican counterparts) get elected.

Huntsman served under Reagan, Bush Sr. and Jr, before he served under Obama. That makes him a public servant.
