In reply to the discussion: So, which candidate do you think that Obama could handily defeat...Romney, Gingrich, or Paul... [View all]BlueCaliDem
(15,438 posts)30. I agree. At this point. Huntsman, though, is as extreme as his co-Repubs
once you get a closer look at his political career and what he stands for.
He's as conservative as the rest of the bunch, and nowhere near "moderate" as some people are led to believe. The fact that he fully embraced the Paul "Eddie Munster" Ryan VoucherCare tells you all you need to know regarding his carefully crafted "moderate" image. Oh, and he's pro-Life, pro-gun,pro-slashing taxes...no different than his co-Repubs.
And President Obama and Axelrod will make sure we learn all about Huntsman before the summer.

He only answered with some vague "transition" that's never going to happen in reality.

I think that Obama would win against Paul easily but have problems down ticket.

Colbert is the most sincere of the field. Still and all, there's that anti-French prejudice. n/t

Any of them. The Republicans are even more adept at foot shooting than the Democrats.
