It's nice to have a not-insane Republican in higher office once in a while. If only the entire party was full of them, instead of the fringe. Sad

Mormons believe that black people are black as a punishment from God because they refused to take a side in the fight between Jesus and his brother, Lucifer, in the spirit world.  sane?

Huntsman is an idiot and has no conception of where the Republican Party is going.  McCain II, anyone?

And where is the republican party going?

What makes you say this?  When I say they are going "right" I mean in relation to McCain.  Remember that Huntsman was a big supporter of John McCain.  But the Republican Party is moving right, not left, moving toward personalities and policies like those of Palin and Jindal.

Huntsman will not get the nomination.  For two reasons (there's more, but the two main reasons): He's Mormon.  Second, traditional conservatives are going to be very suspicious of him and they will always be especially when he talks about supporting civil unions or whatnot.  Many Republicans talk about going back to their principles, but Huntsman never had any of these principles to begin with.  That is a serious problem.

Primary issues for Republicans:
1. Abortion
2. Gay marriage
3. Immigration
4. Guns
5. Foreign policy
6. Small government
7. Tax cuts

Only candidates with conservative positions on these issues will be the nominee in 2012.  Huntsman is Republican only because of his support for business interests.  That is not a good place to be.  The Republican Party is going to become more populist, more conservative, and yes, more religious.  Do not expect the Republican Party to embrace gay marriage, civil unions, or anything like that anytime soon.

No I knew what you were talking about and Palin and Jindal will never win an election, they are to far right. In a normal year Obama wouldn't have won because he is to far left. Most Presidents are Moderate right to Moderate left.

Also if the Republican party want to win over new voters, because most of their voters are dieing off(old people), then they need to move toward the middle on gay marriage, abortion etc.
