guarantee you this guys campaign is being financed by Soros...

[E. Pluribus Unum]

If nobody ever heard of him, why would it matter?

[Not A Snowbird]

And he would pull in what? About 0.0476%?

And that would probably be from Obama.

[Buckeye McFrog]

if he opens that door he’ll come in last in a 4 or 5 man race

[Zathras]

I suspect Harry Reid suggested he run for President for just such a purpose.

[newzjunkey]

I don’t see how you go from his answers to “refuses to rule out” ... it’s like Chris Christie being unable to convince the press that his “no” meant NO.

[mtnwmn]

Egotistical, big time!

[rbg81]

So he might go Third party, huh? Gee, guess we’d better give him the nomination on a silver platter then! [/s]

[Psalm 144]

“Well there goes the nerd vote.”

Nah, the real nerds are leveling their toons on one MMORPG or another. They don’t care about Huntsman either.

[tips up]

Let him run. The only votes he will get are the Fox News All Stars and David Brooks.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Who cares? How many votes will he take the from GOP nominee? 3?

[YHAOS]

Standard Repubic pathology . . . try to throw an election to a Democrat-Socialist rather than share power with a Conservative.

[no dems]

Anybody who runs as an Independent and splits the anti-Obama vote will be the most hated person in America because they will totally nullify the entire GOP Primary Election process and give Obozo another 4 year lease on the White House.

[no dems]

He would take votes away from 0bama.

Hmmmmm........ not sure I agree with that. Can you give us some clue as to why and how that could happen?

[no dems]

Everyone seems to be underestimating the seriousness of this. The Huntsman family has tons of money and could finance a campaign that could pull 2 - 5 percent of the vote from the GOP Candidate and that could definitely change the outcome because, this Election will be very close.

[Tredegar]

Exactly! This is press nonsense. A stupid spin on what the governor actually said.
