I think if the good people of Utah had it to do over again we would have elected someone else.

Huntsman was not a "bad" governor, but not an especially good one either.

Since his election, he has been seduced by the "Manmade Global Warming" hysteria and signed on to the extremely counterproductive "Cap and Trade" scheme. That alone should be enough to rule him out from serious consideration for Governor again, let alone as President.

Let's face it, if Jon Huntsman did not have his name recognition from being the namesake son of a brilliant and extremely generous entreprenour who has given millions of dollars to worthy causes, Jon Jr. would probably be selling used cars somewhere, not running for President.

He was a good Ambassador, but his primary motivation seems to be satisfying his own ego and having a career in politics.

Vote for any other Republican- our country will be better for it.
