That's why I like Huntsman and was originally one of his supporters. He was in between Ron Paul and the neo-cons on defense and had some of the same ideas as Ron Paul in so far as the financial sector.

However, Ron Paul does have somewhat of a cult-like following. That's a REAL turn-off.
You can't blame Ron Paul that his message resonates so well. For a lot of Paulites he is the first Presidential candidate that they feel this simpatico for. In truth, I haven't felt this good about a candidate since Bobby Kennedy, and I was too young to vote in '68...
