Given all the nonsense, drama and failed candidates of the GOP primaries so far, I am at a loss to why Huntsman is doing just so poorly?
I'm not a likely GOP primary voter, but I would like to have a decent alternative in the general election. Every other candidate is terrible, incoherent, or just plain crazy.
Now with Perry's final flameout and Cain's abuse problems overshadowing his 999 problems, the talking heads are saying Gingrich is the next in line to be the Not-Romney. ??? Really? Newt Gringrich? WTF GOP?
So what is going with Huntsman? Seems rational, no sordid personal background, successful executive of a solid red state, diplomatic background gives more foreign policy experience than anyone else, and no obvious character or policy flaws.
At worst he seems like a Romney-lite without all the Taxachusetts/ Romneycare/ flippy-floppy baggage.
Too moderate? Can't even say its a mormon thing... ? I really don't know.
Will he get his 15 minutes after Gingrich quickly flames out and he's the only candidate left and whose name is not a synonym for assjuice?
