ENDORSE OBAMA! I know Huntsman is a Republican but he seemed genuinely embarrassed by the clowns in the car during the primary. I remember he specifically said he was NOT planning on the now-expected ceremonial dinner with Trump.
He could be a great way to pull a Lieberman on Mittens - especially since Huntsman is also a Mormon.
I think that would be great!

Proud Liberal Dem
(24,454 posts)Huntsman- pandering aside- was the only Republican running last year that I could have stomached as President. He's just not crazy and/or ridiculous enough for today's Republican Party.

(20,450 posts)appear to have any animosity towards the president. In addition, his daughter often shows up at Larry O's show and other liberal-leaning shows. It takes everything in her power not to diss R-Money. I know she wants to badly. I think Huntsman will. If he doesn't, then fuck him. It would tell me all I need to know about him: he's dishonest and an opportunist.

(34,857 posts)He can't do it. He'll do what Santorum is currently doing, tepidly support Romney and await his pending loss.
Others, though? I hope Hagel, Powell, Simpson and other Republicans come out in favor of Obama.
