Of course there is room for Huntsman in this race. Barry needs to be primaried from the Left, within the Democrat Party, and that's a perfect role for Huntsman.

This is the best they can do. Right here.

Well, well. So now that Romney is going down, the slugs are going to start promoting Huntsman. After all, the Conservatives are just a slap stick comedy, right? Actually, take Romney, Huntsman and Obama and shove it right up in there.

We want our country back.

JH introduced himself to Republicans by trashing them all, touting his collaboration with Obama, all the while touting his conservatism. He has a snowballs chance in hell of winning the nomination. He would be better off campaigning for placement on an Obama Huntsman 2012 ticket. The fact this author would write such drivel really questions their understanding of politics, Republicans, and conservatives.

If you want somebody who will make the best showing against Obama - who has a better than even chance, I think Huntsman is it. I dislike much of his social leanings but if we want to get the nation productive again, he's the man who will not only be able to get elected but to actually get the government working for us not put us into more slavery.

Republicans should take a look at Jon Huntsman. His record as the Utah Governor is conservative, and he utilized pragmatic policies to create a 5% flat tax, market based health care system, stay in budget during a time when most of the states incurred huge debts that may never repaid.

He has foreign policy experience that is crucial given the times that we live in...

He is a serious candidate, and I am switching my vote to Huntsman.

Huntsman has ZERO chance. He is no Republican. He's a Democrat in "Republican" clothing. He's trying to make the party a little more liberal, not going to work.

Newt and Ron Paul now there a ticket that will win over everybody. the whole country will support the person who supports the constitution. turn out the light the party over for Huntsman,Romney,Bachman and my favorite Santorum

Room for Huntsman? Huntsman is a distant cousin of mine and I wouldn't vote for him. He is smarmy, his jokes come across as cynical and rather offensive (an insight to the man himself if you ask me) and need I say? Dare I say? He's been irrelevant from the word go. On what planet has Huntman done ANYTHING to come across Presidential, let alone ELECTABLE...???...??? People are having a knee jerk reaction to Romney because little was known in 2008 about him and he lost the nomination. Now he is well known, well qualified, articulate, and virtually the only person in a position of experience to save our sinking ship but people have apprehensions because he lost the nomination in 2008 to a dope (Hate to call him that, I'm a 4th generation Arizonan, my father had an airplane and flew McCain around the state of Arizona in the 80's but Mr. Middle of the road, can't take a stand because he's a 'maverick' McCain didn't have a snowballs chance....) and now people are afraid of losing against Hussein Obama, and so people are hoping for some white knight. There's a story thats applicable; "Flood came, people prayed for a miracle, people walked by as waters rose and said 'come with us to safety'. They said their miracle would come. Water rose higher and a boat paddled by...'come with us' they called out. 'No, we will be saved.' Water rose still higher and they sought refuge on the roof. A passing by helicopter called out on the P.A. system 'We will lower a basket' to which the people in the home declined the invitation. Alas, the people perished in the flood. As they entered the pearly gates, they asked 'why did we die? Have miracles ceased? St. Peter at the gate replied.....'Big guy sent people, a boat, and then a helicopter, what were you looking for? A space ship?' Romney 2012 because he's 'THE ONE'

It's too bad the GOP chose to ignore former Governor of New Mexico, Gary Johnson. He would have added a fresh view to their line up and would have been my choice.
