George Will realizes (as I have only come to recently) that Jon Huntsman is THE option for conservatives at this point. His platform is better than any of the frontrunners, as is his record. He WILL crush Obama in a general election, and that means a GOP senate majority of several seats as well.

Who the Hell is George Will, and why should I give a damn about what he has to say?

He may very well be the most consistent candidate, I will not argue against that.

Doesn’t mean he’s the most consistent Republican candidate.

"George Will pegs Huntsman as most principled conservative)."

George Will misses on both counts.

If only he didn’t work for 0bama, he might deserve a consideration. As it is, it’s difficult for conservatives to consider him to beat his (former?) boss, regardless his position on issues.

Just out of curiosity, how is a guy who calls conservatives "anti-science" and refers to himself, not as the conservative, but as the "center-right" candidate, somehow become "THE option" for conservatives ?

I'm not even knocking him for working in the Obama administration, I'm more curious how someone who portrays themselves as a moderate (his words, not mine) and "center-right" or "right of center" (again his words not mine) becomes the option for people who are conservative ?

Even better, how is he supposed to pull this off after insulting conservatives directly ?

George Will needs to take his meds and eat his soup.

I’m delighted that you have decided to support Jon Huntsman.

Ultimately, this is going to come down to whether we want to ‘vent’ or whether we want to ‘win’.

Romney is utterly vulnerable against Obama for reasons that the Huntsman campaign is already exploiting and are well documented on this site. Even Newt’s staunchest fan would admit that he brings a fair amount of baggage to the table.

When you brush away all the image stuff, when you brush away the tangential fluff, and you get down to a candidate’s record and his policy positions, Huntsman seems the wisest choice every time.

This is why I stopped reading George Will long ago.

Years back Will was the one eyed king in the valley of the blind. There were no other “conservative” writers around and he looked like Reagan. Now he just looks like .... well George Will a man willing to make a fool of himself to meet a deadline.

Will’s been in Washington DC so long he’s become addicted to the Kool-Aid. No better way to get invited to parties on the Beltway than to bash conservatives.

With Romney faltering, time to turn to Huntsman I guess. Anything to stop a conservative from winning the nomination.

Then Georgie Will has gone senile.

The is nothing at all “conservative” about Huntsmann. His big govt statist solutions on everything from Bank Regulation to the myth of global warming expose him as just another Democrat Lite RINO.

Read his own issues, page. There is nothing even remotely “conservative” about Huntsman

The only way you can see Huntsman as “conservative” is if you change the definition of “conservative” to mean Democrat Lite RINO.
