The GOP has a great candidate!

[Rick Myers]

But, unfortunately, they can never get him nominated... Jon Huntsman is a legit candidate that could engage independent voters... CAN NEVER HAPPEN! My fave Huntsman trivia? He LOVES Captain Beefheart!!! But Bachmann/Perry overdrive rolls on...

1. I wouldn't call him "great," he's too conservative for my taste.

He is, however, reasonably sane, which will doom his candidacy.

[gateley]

2. It's the "reasonably sane" that will do him in with those whack jobs. nt

[AndyTiedye]

3. They'll Go for the Mad Cowboy/Mad Eyes Double-Crazy Ticket

Them teabaggers can't get enough of crazy and stupid.

Their minions might even be able to steal enough votes so that they "win". :hide:

[CakeGrrl]

4. The GOP sold their souls to the Tea Party. "Legit" is too sane for them now. -nt

5. Isn't he the guy who nominated Palin for VP in 2008? My view of his judgment

won't be affected much by his musical taste

[PoliticAverse]

8. Yes he was...

7. Did he or did he not say he would accept VP for Bachmann?

Anyone who legitimizes that crazy idiot is certainly no moderate.

It sounds like he's getting in line to volunteer to give a speech nominating Bachmann

[Mass]

11. Great? Seriously? He is relatively sane, but not great.\nt

[dionysus]

12. whats with people praising idiots like huntsman and ron paul on DU?

[Tarheel_Dem]

14. It was bound to happen. Skinner's allowed the DEM to be removed from DEMocratic Underground.

;)

[laureloak]

13. If he's so great he'll change parties.

[Cosmocat]

15. Not being completely dispicable.

does not make someone "great."

But, I get your general point.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

16. He just killed his chances by agreeing to be Bachman's VP should she get the noimination

This guy isn't legit. He's a fraud and an opportunist. This was the same guy who heaped praise on Obama, then look it back when he wanted to run for president.

He's a charlatan and a liar. Fuck him and the other racist Teabagger sacks of crap that come out of the ReTHUGlican Party!!!
