The media is just a little too excited about Huntsman, and that doesn't bode well for his chances in either the primary or the general. Going with the media's favorite Republican didn't work out well for the GOP in 2008 and it will only produce the same result in 2012, as the media will turn on him the instant he goes from being the least bad Republican to simply the Republican. |
but there really isn't anything bad with Huntsman, he doesn't carry any kind of baggage like all the other likely Republican candidates. The only bad thing you could say about him is he worked for Obama. However, he worked in the capacity of an Ambassador to China, which is probably the most important country as far as foreign policy goes. I don't see how that could be bad really. Makes him much more informed than any other candidate.
