Although he was slated to speak at a major gathering of Republicans taking place in New Orleans this weekend -- just days before the official rollout of his presidential campaign -- former U.S. Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman has bowed out.
The reason, according to sources close to the former Utah Governor and soon-to-be presidential contender, is a “bad cold.”
Huntsman was scheduled to speak at the Republican Leadership Conference on Friday.

Jeeze—I guess I’m not as up on things as I imagined myself to be. I’d swear that I’d never heard of this guy before.
Who is Jon Huntsman, and why should I care?
Look for his endorsement soon. In fact, there are a lot of Governors and former Governors who should start firing off their endorsements. That’s when you know the campaign is starting and the fight is joined.
The sooner this self-serving schmuck bows out, the better. I will not vote for someone who was part of the Obummer regime. Hunstman can fornicate with himself.
Agreed.....it would be wise that he keeps his cold card handy and uses it often!...lol
Poor baby....He has a cold.
“Who is Jon Huntsman, and why should I care?”
He’s a big Obama supporter, so much of supporter that BO made him an Ambassador.
He's a rich, liberal Mormon, kind of like Romney without the looks, and you should care because of your well publicized pledge to support the favored candidate of the liberal media.
He fumbled a gun control question on The Hugh Hewitt Show and it is all over the place and he can’t recover from something like that. Even if he could explain why he took a job with Obama.
Governor of Utah...no reason why we should be up to date on that...then he agrees to be ambassador to China for Obama, so he’s been off in China until recently...no reason we should’ve been up on that.
There is a tape of Huntsman saying what a great leader Obama is.
And they talk about Romney having a problem defending himself over Romneycare...that’s nothing compared to Huntsman’s problem. I can see it now...Huntsman runs against Obama, and the Dem commercial is nothing but Huntsman calling Obama a great leader.
Huntsman is a Republican who I would think would have voted for McCain/Palin. So I’m not saying he’s a Democrat in Republican clothing, although apparently there’s some ideological mushiness in his record. But what poor judgement he has to publicly say that about Obama, then think he should run for President.
What else do we need to know about him??? That’s quite enough.
Huntsman: official choice of the MSNBC, the homosexual channel.

He must of confused it with the democrat Leadership Conference.
Its alright, the media will help him.... wink wink
His support is about 1 % right now. Why should we care?
Geeze—I’m actually glad I don’t know this guy.
We have way too many RINO’S that we seriously need to get rid of.......
Hunstman never had a chance.
“Ambassador to China under the Obama Administration” was never going to “win friends and influence people” who vote in GOP primaries. I agree with those folks.
Maybe because he’s decided to run as a democrat. He’s a lib, so it’s a better fit anyway.
He was one of the speakers at the 2008 convention who introduced Palin. Hopefully he voted for them
