Former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman to speak at Dem Convention?

[WI_DEM]

consider the source, but thought I would post it anyway:

Huntsman to Speak at Democratic Convention?
Breitbart reports that former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman (R) has accepted a speaking slot at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte next month.

The news follows a report that the Democratic convention would feature "prominent" Republicans.

Perhaps Mitt didn't send a thank-you card?

11. UPDATE: Jon Huntsman's daughter says the former governor won't speak at Dem convention

The Hill:

Jon Huntsman's daughter Liddy shot down a report from Breitbart Friday that her father, a former Republican presidential candidate and former governor of Utah, would speak at the Democratic National Convention.

Liddy Huntsman@HuntsmanLiddy: My dad speaking at the DNC convention? Come on guys, ya'll can think of a better rumor. #RomneyVP #notinthislifetime

The report came just hours after speculation swirled that her grandfather, Jon Huntsman Sr., might have been the unnamed source that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) claims told him that presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney did not pay federal income taxes for a decade.

12. That isn't a no.

Not that it is a yes either, it is a dodge.

13. This is the one thing I remember about Huntsman's campaign, it was funded by his father

As I recall it was disclosed that nearly all of the funding for his campaign came from his father. When daddy cut the money off Huntsman was out.
