The best candidate may not always win

Huntsman's campaign is broke

Jon Huntsman may very well be the best qualified and intellectually strongest candidate in the Republican field today. He surely appears more qualified than President Obama and equal to or greater than Mitt Romney. Both Huntsman and Romney blow by the flock in terms of superior qualifications. They both have a high probability of achieving collaboration in government. Both have a sense of the future and are problem-solvers. Both have a successful track record.

So, why do Republicans in the Tea Party want to flirt around with lesser candidates? My thought is, they aren’t very smart.

You can say the same thing about Democrats. Democrats are loyal to a fault. Obama is a proven disaster at every turn. He is an experiment gone wild. It is time to buck up and get Hillary on board, or Mark Warner. If you want win and fix the economy, you have to have people with ability and backing.

Now, the story is Huntsman is out of money. Too bad. Too late. Throw support for Mitt and become his Secretary of State.

“Former Utah governor Jon Huntsman is deep in debt, according to CNN. Since declaring his presidential bid in June, Huntsman has raised just $2.26 million and contributed $2.25 million of his own money to the campaign. The long-shot candidate has just $327,000 in the bank and $890,000 in debt. While Huntsman initially said he raised $4.1 million in his first week-plus in the race, spokesman Tim Miller now says that “fundraising dried up and the actual results did not match the pledges our campaign had received.””
