Obama/Huntsman 2012?

[theophilus]

Any chance Mr. Obama will put Huntsman on the ticket replacing Biden when Huntsman drops out of the Republican race?

[MilesColtrane]

1. No.

[northoftheborder]

2. Interesting concept, but.....

Huntsman is the THE ONLY sane candidate (other than Romney) in that bunch of radicals and know-nothings running under the Rethug banner. He will go nowhere in the primary. Too bad.

[tabbycat31]

4. you think Mittens is sane?

[northoftheborder]

14. Yes, he's sort of weird and flippy floppy, but he's actually a moderate,

in hiding. Who knows what he really thinks, (I'm not recommending him) but, look at the others - they're really the WORST bunch of candidates I can remember. Religious zealots, fake religious zealots, non-believers in science, radical right policy positions, just generally ignorant, and don't care, proud they know nothing. Huntsman stands out. I'm not agreeing with his policies, nor would vote for him. But he shouldn't be ignored.

25. "Moderate", my ass! Romney is a "Whatever group he's speaking to wants him to be".

3. Really?

:popcorn:

29. There seems to be some disagreement about that. (NT)

[SidDithers]

30. Not among people living in the real world...nt

33. Naught but personal attacks, ehh? (NT)

[SidDithers]

34. Personal attacks? Who did I attack?...

It's an attack to believe that people who think Obama isn't a Democrat aren't living in the real world?

21. Kerry tried to get McCain to accept VP

Was willing to offer him essentially full foreign policy control. McCain didn't want to face Rove's ire.

7. Why would we replace Biden? He's been invaluable to Obama

according to references I've heard. We just don't see it from out here.

[Skink]

9. 2016 would be wide open if Biden stays on the ticket

[gateley]

13. Ah, good point - but don't you think Obama thought of that when

he asked Biden to stay?

[theophilus]

20. I like Biden. I just wonder if Mr. Obama would view putting a newly

minted I or D Huntsman on the ticket for bi-partisanship? I'm not suggesting he do it. I'm just wondering if he might.

[gateley]

24. That would be something, wouldn't it? I wonder if there would

be blowback from the Party. Hmmmm.

8. The only replacement for Biden is Hillary

And I doubt that's happening.

[Recursion]

23. She's said no, directly, in interviews. Bloomberg is possible.

Though I think an illness (God forbid) is the only thing that would knock Biden off the ticket.

[TheKentuckian]

11. I should hope the odds are less than zero. Why the fuck would an open and out Republican be running

our ticket?

[Recursion]

22. Kerry offered VP to McCain. Lincoln picked Johnson

It's been known to happen.

[dionysus]

12. obama/aquaman?

15. I have a better chance.

[Morning Dew]

16. If we could only get a ticket of

2008 candidate Obama for President
and President Obama as Vice President

we might have something.

[GillesDeleuze]

18. Obama couldn't win the republican primary, but he sure is trying!

[Iggo]

19. Oh, come on!

[blogslut]

26. No

28. The way that idiot damaged relations with China for his own gain, who needs him?

[ellie]

32. No.
