the only thing shocking to me is that Romney has done any better than Huntsman.

they are both awful.

The only reason Romney is leading is because the MSM has been playing whack-a-mole with any candidate who has a hint of Conservatism, and we’ve responded to it.

If Santorum would just drop out Gingrich could still pull this out. I am still sitting here amazed that Santorum surged in the final week before Iowa just enough to swell his head and keep him from dropping out after Iowa like he would have and has managed to help Romney in the process.

Katherine Harris would have made a FINE Senator, as she is already ‘fine’. Heh.

Good choice.

Don’t know Morning Joe but if he compares Huntsman to Reagan he likely is an idiot..........

Reagan was warm and engaging at a personal level, not ‘moderate’ in temperament. In his love of liberty, Reagan was passionate and inflexible.

Listening to Huntsman in his debate with Newt Gingrich -did- show a collegial warmth and wittiness which was noteworthy. Thankfully the nomenklatura have backed Romney instead of Huntsman.

What Huntsman -said- however was nothing like the thought processes of Reagan. It was all about people as productive units. Math factors. What Lenin would call ‘masses’, and Reagan would have recognized as souls.

Reagan and Huntsman could both be defined as courteous and articulate, and there the resemblance ends.

Reagan was a brilliant and passionate freedom fighter.

Huntsman is a clever and diligent apparat.

NBC, CNBC and MSLSD insist on putting these liberals (Meghan McCain, Scarphoney, Andrew Sullivan, etc) in front of the public and position them as conservatives. I’d like to think their ratings are indicative of how successful they are at their attempt at manipulation of the public.

Jon Huntsman is to Ronald Reagan as Joe Scarborough is to intelligence. Sad thing is that Joe actually raises the average intelligence of that group.
