JON HUNTSMAN is anti-establishment & the most successful Governor alive
:::FACTS::
as Governor, REFORMED healthcare (w/out mandate), education, & taxes. PEW ranked #1 governed state. Now state #1 eduation spending, #1 JOB GROWTH. often >90% approval in office. Passed pro-life amendments. Safeguarded 2nd amendment. Now, WSJ ranked economic plan ***MOST FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE*** & UNLIKE NEWT AND MITT, wants to: end too-big-to-fail, drastically cut deficit with Paul Ryan sized cuts, end loopholes, end subisidies, flatten, simplify taxes, reform Congressional lobbying
:::END FACTS:::
Newt is polarizing, a DC idea man, not a consistent sturdy leader.
Romney is a phony. He literally says whatever the majority of his audience wants to hear at any given moment. If he doesn't want to answer a question, he evades it, talks in circles, and changes the subject by attacking Obama. Most of all, he's a PROVEN FAILURE... he left Governor's office with 34% approval!
Everything that's wrong with Newt and Mitt, is right with Jon Huntsman.
He's the one! He's the one who can beat Obama and unite this country!
GIVE HIM A FIRST LOOK!!!

Did Huntsman quit early in his second term as governor? Then accept ambassador to China and quit that too? Those moves seem to have positioned him for presidential run. Most likely his next quit comes soon.
