JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman joined the Republican presidential contest on Tuesday, pledging to run a civil campaign and claiming that he and President Barack Obama both love the United States but have different visions of its future...

Oh, thank God! Now all the millions marching in the street, hoping for a left-leaning, moderate, Mormon, RINO ex-gov will have someone to vote for! Wait, what?

I'm thinking that someone really really clever convinced him to enter. Romney's vote is cut nearly in half, and he's no longer the front-runner. I'm happy to see Huntsman in there.

The way I see it is the more RINOs there are in the primary, the better chance they’ll fraction their votes and give the conservatives a better shot at it.

Gack. The "high road" has a name - RINO Boulevard. It's a dead end. No thanks. Next!

LOL!

Say "goodnight gracie..."

Huntsman’s invoking Reagan’s name and announcement location was comical and served more to point out just what a loser he is.

Reagan would have excoriated Obama unmercifully. Huntsman preaches “civility” and “respect” for Obama.

What a joke.

Then perhaps the father should run...because his son appears to be a eunuch.

Sheesh. Jon Huntsman, Sr., is supposed to be a Republican, worked in the Nixon White House (but was not even questioned because it was widely believed that he would never be involved in any wrongdoing), and he donates to.....HARRY REID?!??!!!???! Jr. says he didn’t, but he appointed Reid’s son to a position:

I’ve seen enough.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Agreed.

More than enough.
