Huntsman steps up to GOP convention podium and extolls Palin's virtues

Bah... | 7:00 p.m. Sept. 4, 2008

Huntsman isn't an up-and-comer...he's Mormon. He has no future in the Republican Party unless it is as lapdog. The governor needs to come back and govern and stay away from the sideshow.

She is much more virtuous than Mitt. I hope the GOP earned from this. You don't even need to toss Utah a bone. They will rationalize anything the GOP does. Ten, rejecting Mormons.

I love to see Huntsman DEBASE himself and GROVEL for the crumbs thrown at him by the party of BUSH/McCAIN. Just what Utah needs, an RNC PUPPET.

A lapdog, that describes huntsman perfectly. He's so pandering and condescending. Ick.

"She is much more virtuous than Mitt."

You have got to be kidding me. Last I checked, Mitt's children are successful and not drinking underage nor making babies with unwed teenagers.

Weak.

Gov. Huntsman usually does pretty well. This was bad. Forced.

Sounded like someone doing a high school pep rally.

Bad. Bad.

Gov. Sarah Palin is the only positive force in this entire farce of a presidential campaign!

Huntsman is weak. Living off Daddy. The true colors...did he really say kick some fannies?

Huntsman just lost my respect--praises Palin while dissing Romney. At least Romney has worked hard to get to where he is in life, rather than just depending on the family inheritance.

Palin is a positive force? Not for me. Hockey is my least favorite sport. I have my doubts about hockey moms. And I don't like pit bulls either. Lipstick or not, they are scarey. So is Palin. She has baggage that has nothing to do with her children. Choosing Palin was the best thing McCain could have done to help out Obama's campaign. You've got to wonder about McCain's ability to choose.....Do we really want him choosing other elected officials? Obama is the only candidate who has any intelligence. I am now officially a Republican supporting Obama.

Hilarious, you make Romney sound like he didn't come from a wealthy family. Check your facts.

Huntsman. How impressed I am that our (Mormon) state's chief executive and representative of Utah's royal (Mormon) family knows how to swear on stage. Wow!

I guess he's wanting to prove that this Mr. Rogers look-alike is really a tough guy.

Educated at only the finest schools, doesn't he know what the term "fanny" means in the English speaking world?

What an embarrassment.

Well, it is darkly ironic that Palin got nominated by a governor that actually had big business experience and had foreign policy experience BEFORE becoming a governor. Palin lives next door to Canada and Siberia. Why hasn't she ever visited them?
