Doug Schoen (Sp?) was on Hannity about a month ago espousing this. He is for a Huntsman candidacy and is already working toward it. Schoen is a “D”, but he’s not an Obama fan, supposedly.
He talked of Huntsman running as an independent third party and thought that he could actually siphon off enough Obama voters to make a true run at it. Hannity tried to convince him that this was handing the election to Obama, but Schoen didn’t think so.
With a lot of conservatives staying home, if Huntsman runs, we are GUARANTEED another 4 years of Obama.
Maybe they will run Tim Cahill.
They're running the Americans Elect party which is already on all 50 ballots. I think they're looking for a "centrist." Schoen wrote that op-ed last year saying Obama should bow out and let Hillary run this year. So depending on who they pick as their candidate, it could siphon off votes from either the R or D. Picking Huntsman sounds like a direct strategy to split the Mormon and Republican vote though, so that would suggest Schoen was an Obama operative all along and the Hillary op-ed was just a head fake.
