Hmm...

1. Obama camp would destroy him as a shameless opportunist and flopper who just a few months before worked for the President and kissed his butt for number of occassions.
2. Base would be less enthusiastic.

No, he'd lose.

But Jon Huntsman wasn't a flip flopper.

Accepting a job from Obama, praising him and then running against him wouldn't be viewed as very consistent.

Him accepting the job was him manning up and serving his country. Why should that matter at all? I didn't see any other Republican candidate who had the ability to reach across the aisle and solve problems.

Tell this to the conservative voters.

This is kind of ironic, since Huntman's image as a great moderate is badly overhyped.
