He has no offices or organization in any other state. He is spending 100% in NH. I would hope he moves up some. But he is not even registering in any other state. But anyone who passes Ron Paul is OK in my book.

He's still the only SANE, intelligent one of the bunch...(Which is still why he hasn't got a chance.)

The real devil is in the details... "The rest of the candidates pile up an unimpressive 10 percent of the electorate between them." Perry is a loser.

It's the independents who ultimately decide the election, not the hard core partisans. This shows us that Huntsman could actually make this a horerace.

That's true when it comes to the general election, but for the Republicans lately, it's definitely been the hard core extremists who are coming up with the candidates. And the clown car that is the current field of candidates is the result.

I don't believe for a second that the liberals on this board and the MSM wouldn't be slicing and dicing any flaws or mistatements made by Huntsman if he were the frontrunner. The few things liberals like about Huntsman would not be in the discussion imo. I'm sure you would prefer him over the rest, but against Obama he would be made out to be "too extreme" on all the other issues where he is to the right. The fact that you know he has a snowball's chance in hell makes it easy to make him out to be good alternative to Obama. This is my opinion...feel free to argue.

Have to agree, in 2008, the Republicans choose the most moderate candidate, McCain, and he was denounced as an extreme right winger. rofllol

Notice how the Left never calls anyone a liberal or moderate Republican? Not even Olympia Snowe or Scott Brown.

This is just incorrect.

I don't recall anyone calling McCain an "extreme right winger" during the 2008 election, although some may have called his choice for running mate that.

And I've never heard anyone call Olympia Snowe or Scott Brown "extreme right wingers" either.

I don't recall that either... Perhaps if you had a source?
