“I will always put my country first.” Jon Huntsman

Believe it

Jon Huntsman is the most honorable of the Republican candidates, and probably one of the most disrespected and underestimated by the Republican Party. That is too bad. Democrats did that to Adlai Stevenson awhile back too. He would have been a great President.

Romney has the best opportunity, I think, though his own party is putting him through the ringer before he even gets to President Obama. Will it make Mitt stronger?

President Obama will be running against Congress and Mitt will be flapping in the breeze.

Maybe the President will give Huntsman and call someday and ask him to return to the State Department where he can serve again.

““He criticized me, while he was out raising money, for serving my country in China, yes, under a Democrat, like my two sons are doing in the United States Navy,” Huntsman said, in an oblique reminder that none of Romney’s five sons have been in the military. “They’re not asking who — what political affiliation the president is. I want to be very clear with the people here in New Hampshire and this country: I will always put my country first.””

“For Jon Huntsman, New Hampshire primary could be now or never

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Tuesday will be a day of reckoning for at least one of the Republican presidential hopefuls: Jon Huntsman, whose quirky and quietly rogue candidacy hinges entirely on a strong showing in the nation’s first primary.”
