AP: Huntsman to Announce Bid Next Week

[milhouse24]

I'm wondering what angle Huntsman's campaign will take; how does he differentiate from Romney on the issues?

His angle will be to go after the same voters that Romney is going after, and peel off just enough of them to stop Romney from winning the nomination.  That way, when Huntsman runs in 2016, there will be no complaints of "but we already tried nominating a Mormon four years ago, and that didn't work".

OMG, what a psycho, if his real motivation is to "protect the Obama administration" and prevent a Romney victory, he deserves to be kicked out of the GOP.  He will deliberately sabotage Mitt Romney's campaign so that Obama can be re-elected. 

This is really beyond crazy and should really give any GOP voter pause in supporting, donating, or campaigning for Huntsman.  He would be a traitor to his party and committing the ultimate treachery.  I would not be surprised if there is a secret deal between Huntsman and the Obama team.  Maybe he wants a seat on the supreme court? 

Seriously, stop Huntsman now, this guy is an Obama loyalist to the core.

You realize that there is no evidence that he's trying to do that, right?

Evidence that Huntsman is an Obama plant:
(1) Worked for the Obama administration
(2) Loyal to the Obama administration and personally to President Obama
(3) Keeps written letters of praise from Obama
(4) Does not verbally attack the faults of the Obama administration

Something fishy is going on with the Huntsman campaign.  I'm sure more evidence will show up once he announces.  There's enough anti-obama red meat out there, that Huntsman will need to clearly articulate why he would be a better president than Obama, other than being a white mormon governor of Utah.  Huntsman will need to clearly criticize the Obama administration and its failures - but he should not criticize Obama's china policy, doh!

I would really use the Freedom of Information act to figure out what electronic communications occurred between Huntsman and the White House during the last 4 years.  Lets get to the bottom of this coordinated attack on Romney and the Republican party.

Evidence that Huntsman is an Obama plant:
(1) Worked for the Obama administration-So? That doesnt disqualify him. I suppose you think Ron Paul is to Liberal because he opposed the Iraq War?
(2) Loyal to the Obama administration and personally to President Obama-So?
(3) Keeps written letters of praise from Obama-So? Hes a President. If I got a Presidential letter I would keep it. How do you even know that!?
(4) Does not verbally attack the faults of the Obama administration-Cant a race be clean?

Its hypocritical to work enthusiastically for Obama, and then turn around and say Obama sucks and I can be a better president than him.  If he had some ill will or bitter argument with the Obama administration, then he should run.  But it just seems like he's an entitled rich guy who is disingenuous in his work for the President, and he's just been bs-ing his work in China for the past 3 years.  I wouldn't label Ron Paul as a liberal, but he's certainly gained a strong following from Indepedent voters who are not hardcore republicans. 

Maybe Huntsman is going to triangulate his way to the presidency by alienating both republicans and obama-democrats.  He'll be the moderate-independent candidate. 
When Huntsman isn't busy sucking Obama, he's shaking Republican donors hands trying to get money from them.

If Huntsman thinks he can be a better President than Obama, then fine, but Huntsman has to actually say 'WHY' he would be a better president than Obama.  Will Huntsman have a plan to decrease unemployment from 9%?  Will he handle libya, afganistan, and pakistan, better?

What really is the difference that Huntsman thinks he can offer against Obama other than he is a rich white mormon guy from Utah?  Also, Huntsman has the support of McCain's brilliant brain trust - the same ones that picked Palin and lost huge to Obama.  Huntsman's an idiot at best, a traitor at worst, and he's got egg all over his face.  I'm sure he even supported Obama Health Care.

At least the wind didn't mess up his hair.  It would have been funny if his notes got blown everywhere.  The C-span microphone was terrible
