Cuntsman has no shot of winning even 2% of the GOP vote. He is a non factor.
In aug/sept 2007, four years ago, #1 was Rudy and #2 was Fred Thompson. #3 and 4 were Mccain and Romney, I think.
My own belief is that Huntsmann - if not the PERFECT veep selection - is running as romney was in 2008. Get in, end up in 3rd or 4th, and you're the dignified frontrunner in 2016.
I agree I will vote any repub over obama, even perry. I just don't see him as automatically beatable. We're in the middle of a second gret depression, even if FOX and MSNBC aren't telling us about it. The fact obama still leads in some polls - in the middle of a dpression the partially caused - tells me his chances are good.
Plus he can start wars and allow attacks to garner support (bush did), he can paint the news/declare terror threats whenever he wants (bush did) and cheat in elections (yep).
Obama will cheat his ass off to stay in power. Perry and Mitt won't have that kind of power to manipulate situations.
