Utah Governor Jon Huntsman was elected to a second term in November 2008 with a record percent of the voters, including the majority in all 29 of Utah's counties. As he begins his last four years, Governor Huntsman continues his commitment bolstering Utah's competitive economic development climate. He believes maintaining Utah's unparalleled quality of life is key to increasing the state's economic competitiveness which is essential to continue funding Utah's critical public education system. -

In fact, Jowers concludes, "There’s no question that Huntsman is, perhaps, the most talked about republican in the country right now."
Frankly I haven't heard his name mentioned before
If he's Mormon they will try to do the same thing to him they did to Romney - attack his religion-

neither have I.........he is considered to be a RINO and he is also a Mormon. This might not sit too well with the more conservative factions of the Republican.....but hey anyone who can beat Dumbo is ok by me. This might also be a feint by Obama's people......

The biggest problem is the republicans won't win with a moderate. They tried moderate and even left of moderate in 2008 and it didn't work. Yeah, I'll bet this guy really scares the liberal progressives sort of like McCain scared them, not at all.

Exactly - Luntz is a pollster and strategist

His specialty - what words to use that resonate with voters. He wrote a book on the subject: Words That Work
This just tells me Huntsman is more concerned, like most politicians, about how manipulate voters rather than tell voters where he really stands on issues
I've put Huntsman in the dubious category just because he wanted to see Luntz - but that's just my take
I'd have to really look at Huntsman's record as governor before I would even consider him

ummm. Jon who?
Anybody that does business with Frank Luntz has got to be a criminal.
Nice advertisement, though/ -

the idea that Obama is fearful of huntsman sounds like its just wishful thinking by the writer (who works for ABC's Utah affiliate, of course).

the quote from David Plouffe, Obama's campaign manager, said Huntsman makes him "queasy" followed by an ellipses, then a complimetary satatement.
which means we don't actually know exactly whats missing between "queasy" and the rest of that sentence.
never did Plouffe say Obama was actually fearful of huntsman. never did Plouffe express any real concern about Huntsman's viability on the nat'l level. nothing.
all Plouffe said was that huntsman is in a great place because he's the only possible GOP pres. candidate anywhere near the middle right now. which is actually a veiled insult to the GOP, saying their too far to the right and out of touch, rather than some admission of fear.
AND...when did "queasy" become the equivalent of "fearful?"
the writer of this piece really needs to check both his dictionary and thesaurus.
that said, Huntsman does sound like he has a brain in is head, which is a stark contrast from the bachmans and palins and limbaughs that seem to be at the forefront of today's GOP.
but if he's a mormon, forget it.
it'll never happen.
