There is a big difference between Christie and Huntsman in that Christie is much more likeable and doesn't come across as Eddie Haskell like Huntsman. Huntsman just seems like a know-it-all of sorts.

I don't want to see Christie enter the race. It does nothing but muddy up the waters.

Perry has to go....he has no chance to beat Obama. Why? Because the Independent voters will NEVER vote for another Texas Governor for President. NEVER in a million years. Plus..I don't like his thoughts on immigration. Giving tuition assistance for ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS?? While our OWN kids can't get that of money unless they are athletes? Just isn't right.

Christie's combativeness will turn off the residents of laid-back battleground states like Colorado and Oregon.

He plays well in the Northeast, mainly because we all know and like someone who looks and acts like him.

You don't know what you are talking about: kids can't get the moeny unless they are atheletes? We are not talking not paying tuition, we are talking in state versus out of state tuition. Any kid, elegible can get in state tuition. This is not tuition assistance, where are you getting that idea? I respect anyone's right to voice their opinions, but pleae make sure you understand what you are talking about. Now, if you are talking scholarships that is different and I haven't seen or heard that from anyone but you. Oh and you don't want to see Christie, you want Perry out, we all know Newt and Satorum (whatever) are on their way out as probably is Bachmann and Huntsman. Let me guess? Who do you want to see get the nomination without even a real primary? Either you want Romney to have no competition or you think, by getting everyone else out Cain will get the nod.

I agree with your points, but I think somebody is trying to muddy the waters. I hate the game playing.

But surely you know the students we are talking about end up getting financial aid in most cases. Those here illegally are applying for and getting grant money more than likely before some of our children. When a states grant money is gone... it's gone for that year and it is awarded based on need.

LOL! Was it you who recently compared Huntsman to Poindexter? Or maybe it was someone else. And now Eddie Haskell? Honestly, I don't see what would make you see these people in him. I don't know enough about your politics to know how you would feel about Huntsman's position on the issues, but I wish you'd give him a chance personality-wise. He's really an incredibly social, decent guy. You just haven't seen enough of him to judge his personality the way you are. Utahns loved him as Governor (both Democrats and Republicans). He made so many decisions that improved the state of Utah.
