Yeah, I wil vote for any Republican over Obama.

mb, that is a horrible point to have to decide. Probably could not...simply stay out of the voting.

But, I'd want 10 Romney's to be POTUSA....to keep BO OUT. (Ya know what I mean?) I KNOW YOU DO!

I'm an Independent who has vowed to never again vote Republican after the recent behavior of Republicans. However, Huntsman might be the only Republican who could make me break that pledge. He reminds me of the Republican statesmen of days gone by. You know, the ones who honestly cared more for country than party.

Bush ran as far right. he ran a great 2000 campaign. he said all the right things, i thought he was the man.

of course, what he actually did once into office, is another story.

Sounds like a homerun for Huntsman last night.

Jon Huntsman excels in foreign policy debate; Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney clash on immigration - Political Intelligence - A national political and campaign blog from The Boston Globe - Boston.com (http://www.boston.com/Boston/politicalintelligence/2011/11/while-huntsman-excels-gingrich-and-romney-clash/IfG9HWC80W6UdGkFiQ8L8O/index.html - broken link)

If Huntsman wins the GOP nomination, he will get my vote when he runs against Obama.

huntsman would destroy obama. its funny because his economic plan is something elite R's would love and it does flatten rates so baggers would be happy as well.

Goes to show that baggers are not just voting on economics and taxes, which is what they supposedly originally started with.

It looks like it was a "keep your enemies closer" move by the D's because they know Huntsman could be a real threat in terms of the independent vote, and even some conservative/moderate D's.
I know you know this, but.....anyone who listens to the absurdities the other repub candidates spout off knows why Huntsman doesn't appeal to them.

He's too smart, too sane, too reasonable and too honest. Have those things and you will not be favored by the repubs.

Darn! I wish I hadn't missed that. I am so, so, so committed to Huntsman. I could just kick myself for not watching the debate.
