Jon Huntsman’s super-PAC was really just his dad. More campaign finance goodness here.
People have asked me why I disliked Jon Huntsman. Out of all the other candidates — not the warmongering Rick Santorum, not the flip-flopping Mitt Romney, and not the laughably corrupt Newt Gingrich — Huntsman is the only one I truly and personally disliked. I might disagree with Santorum’s insane…
Another (more negative) take on Huntsman. Key line: “Huntsman has shown himself to be a turncoat: to his party, to his president, and to his own campaign. That is despicable and his actions are indications of a great deficit in character and integrity.”
I don’t understand this argument.
Because Huntsman held a position in the Obama administration he loses his right to disagree with it? And how was he a turncoat to his party? Because he accepted a job with a Democratic president?
If so, then why aren’t Ray LaHood and Norm Mineta vilified by the Republican and Democratic parties?

"What Gingrich is talking about is a religious “sacrament”, not a civil right. So marriages between atheists are not truly marriages. It’s quite staggering to see Gingrich simply abolish any distinction between church and state. Huntsman actually uses the word “dignity” with respect to homosexuals. I’ve never heard that before in a Republican debate. The idea that we are human beings, that we should be spoken of with respect is very novel in this party."
— Andrew Sullivan’s comments on a portion of last night’s New Hampshire debate that stuck out to me.
The former ambassador to China and governor of Utah didn’t campaign in Iowa, instead choosing to focus on New Hampshire.
Yesterday, when asked about the caucuses, Huntsman told ABC News’ Susan Archer, “I’ll have to see if ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ is on tonight.”

The office reaction: “Oh, we’ll call you crazy. Crazy for staying in the Republican party!”
Obama should hire this guy!
