Last night I saw one saying that no one laid a hand on Romney, and this morning I saw another saying he was attacked by everyone (paraphrasing, obviously). I was confused, too.

influence ever dies down and moderates get a chance to say anything at all,
Huntsman would soar. Obama's admin said they were wary of this guy right
from the very beginning. Huntsman/Obama would be a very close race, imo.
If Huntsman got it, I'd feel slightly better for the country vs. any of the other
clowns getting it.

Just my opinion, of course.

Planet....


Huntsman represents a move toward Reason for the GOP who has been suffering Brand Image

for months and still declining...

But...the Baggers seem to rule....so everything is still up in the air....until ....the Reason Wave

reaches a Cresendo ......

I'd love to know what you and others think about the possibility of

of whats best for the situation...and in this case...whats best for the Nation.

Their seem to rely on ole tactics of making yourself look good by denigrating others...its an ole mode but effective..

Its outlived itself...

Peeps want more and they are paying attention to the causes of discomfort, stress

Right now...Its the Baggers in the crosshairs of the 99ers...along with GOPers of the current bench of Wannabees

by the other candidates would probably welcome Huntsman. It will be interesting to see if he gets any momentum.

but he sounds better.
Maybe it is my distrust of all things republican.
If someone aligns themselves with today's republican party, they have a problem.

Willard and his pious baloney. Santorum went after Willard as well - indeed he started it and Newt finished him off with the 'pious baloney'.

never cared if he won or lost. But I've really begin to dislike him this time around. I STRONGLY dislike them all, except for Huntsman, and that may just be because I don't know that much about him or haven't seen/heard him much.
