Way too moderate to be a Republican

If Romney gets the nod, Huntsman as VP makes no sense - he will not pull outside Romney's strength.  I don't see any other GOP candidates being viable choices.  Maybe Chris Christie, Rubio, etc.

This really isn`t such a big deal,considering he wasn`t taking in enough money to do more then travel.He had no where near the advert power top cats have/had and wasn`t getting any "mo",especially in SC.

He`s a class act and will be missed.

Status: offline 		Actually, most have them.They call them "Super PACs".

Romney`s is loaded,newt`s has some,Paul`s is loaded and Rick`s has a few bucks.

I think Huntsman`s wealthy dad contributed the most to Huntsman`s Super PAC,a million bucks.

Stephen Colbert and former FEC commissioner Trevor Potter gave one of the best explanations of how Super PACs work, when he gave his own Super PAC to Jon Stewart to run.

Enjoy.

1st segment.

Hopefully he'll take Newt with him!
He's got nasty ads about the other candidates running on t.v. here in Myrtle Beach.
He's probably still holding his ass after Mitt and Ron spanked him in N.H.

Not surprised. I never cared for the guy... not because, as the article states, for his working with O'Failure, but because he's too much of a "politician" -- i.e., talking a lot, but saying nothing.  I just finished watching the Huckabee Forum in South Carolina, and he did it yet again... when asked direct questions, he kept dancing around them with platitudes.

Example, first question asked of him... "In the first 30 days, as President of the United States, what could you do to have any positive impact on America". 

His response?  "The answer is very simple... and that is, i would lead.  Today we have no leadership, we have no one that is doing what needs to be done on Captol Hill and driving forward the work of the people." 

He then blathered on a bit and FINALLY got to 3 things he'd focus on:  (i) Tax Reform, (ii) Addressing Regulations, and (iii) Steps to Energy Independence, but by then I was already rolling my eyes.  His entire opening response said NOTHING, and the end of his response is HARDLY anything that could be addressed in "30 days".

In short, just too much of the typical politician, and the reason why I never trusted the guy. 

Given the crappy state of things, I think most Americans are looking for more swift and specific actions that will hopefully have both a major and more immediate impact on the economy.

And the promise of "swift and specific actions" plays right into the Obama re-election strategy of painting any challenger as too extreme.

Not when said "swift and specific" actions COUNTER O'Failure's "extreme" policies of ObamaCare, Dodd/Frank, TRILLIONS in failed stimulus, and BILLIONS in failed Solyndra-esque losses.
