When Huntsman entered the 2012 presidential circus I was not impressed with his roll out……it let a lot to be desired….and during his stay in the field he got very little air time or face time on the tube….but when he did he spoke with authority and clarity and intelligence…..and I have said that Huntsman was a GOP candidate that would be worth a listen and consideration……I liked him because he would not flip and showed a true conviction……something that I did not see in his opponents…..and in this season of pure silliness he was short lived and had to bow out after South Carolina……a real shame and the GOP lost a person that could be a statesman instead of just a politician…..I regret to say that is something that the party does not have today…..
The other day I watched MSNBC’s Morning Joe and watched the interview with Huntsman…..a very telling interview and showed why the man can be a saving grace for the party, especially if they lose in 2012 to Obama…….
Watch the interview….very telling…..as always you must sit through an ad and then an 18 minute video of the interview…..

Personally, I believe the GOP missed an opportunity to have a true conservative in the running…..and the shame is he is more of an adult than anyone they have now…..hopefully with their defeat in November, the GOP will realize that a change is needed if it is every have a viable candidate………but I seriously doubt it!
