How not to run for president as a Republican
On second thought, maybe teaming up with the "socialist in chief" wasn't the smartest political move http://www.salon.com/news/politics/w...man_2012_obama

He's another Morman too I believe. He seems waaay more qualified than most of the other Repub contenders. What do you think?

LICK OUT LUMMY'S ASSCRACK, OBAMARICON. HIS RASHBOTTOM HAS ALREADY KICKED IN....

It isn't bumcoon, you idiot.

Who is this Kleinbok personage???

[velichay]

SHUT UP, SHITMOUSE.

[didrexx]

Who are you, crowley?

I've been known to have that username in the past. A.C. Crowley. Your name sounds familiar to me too.

[KimLinbert]

The son of billionaire Jon Huntsman, Sr. -- who Forbes ranks at the 937th richest person in the world -- Huntsman was known as a moderate Republican governor, who earned conservative ire for accepting stimulus money from the Obama administration. He also supported reducing greenhouse gas emissions, immigration reform with a pathway for citizenship for some illegal immigrants and civil unions for gays and lesbians. He also raised money for McCain..

I'd vote for Osama Bin Laden first.

If he runs, might not because they would both diminish each others voting base by splitting them.

I hate to say this, but is a better candidate..

The Dem base will go batshit insane if they find out how rich his dad is. He'll get all the negative press he can handle.

The Tea Party will piss all over him.

His role is "donor"

[TNOULbr2]

The thing is, as far as I can tell, is that Jon WILL be running. Thats why he is resigning his ambassadorship post.

[nasxbrtyol]

In truth, there's a big portion of the Republican establishment who would love the guy. They're terrified of anything resembling democracy or responsibility.

They're the party that happily sat in the cold for a half a century.. All they wanted was a place at the trough.

Give them a little government $$$ to pass around and, as far as they are concerned, everything is FINE.

To be honest: Many every day republicans and democrats have more in common with each other than they do with their own party elites..

That or it has become untenable. There's changes afoot that he can't hack, so he's fleeing the scene.

[Nurse_sero]

Yeah, the article said he's only been ambassador for 19 months. Before that, he had just won a governorship w/ 75%+ of the vote.

Ezra Klein asks in The Washington Post, “What is being whispered in Jon Huntsman’s ear?” And Daniel Larison, writing for The American Conservative, says the news “makes no sense at all.” I have to agree with this. It doesn't make a lot of sense.

This guy would have to be SELECTED.. because he won't be elected.

[squicscor]

The salon Article says he accepted the ambassadorship to serve the President (patriotism/crossing-lines) & now he's unhappy w/ his early prognostications. Anyway, he's a new face in the Repub pres field and the estab repubs, like you indicated, will like him unless he has some skeletons in the closet.

[Xutrsavf]

.. the estab repubs, like you indicated, will like him unless he has some skeletons in the closet.

Yeah.. Something terrible like opposing TARP or saying Globalism isn't the coolest thing since internet porn.

That will end it for sure.

[XarokLasa]

Makes things more exciting having someone different but I'll wait until he really jumps in the race head first.

[Nemerov]

In an instant the trees seemed to swarm with
a horde of horrible creatures. Page 113 [frontispiece]

HE'S ANOTHER TINKERBELLE.

FUCK HIM.

[spacecrafty]

This guy would definitely not get any base votes so he might really gum up the works for the Repub's.

[eropiereetuekm]

Looks like its official now. This is getting interesting. Would anyone in the base vote for a Mormon?

The Mormon primary: vs. Huntsman

Mitt and Jon Huntsman Jr. are both Mormons, both wealthy scions of old Utah families, both ex-governors with chiseled features and terrific hair.

Both also want to be president. And neither has shown much regard for the other. Read more: http://www.politico.com/news/stories...#ixzz1Cv5elTD1
