I've actually looked into Huntsman. He's a very interesting politican to look into, considering he was US Ambassador to Singapore and is a very popular governor. His father is also a billionaire. But there are 2 major problems of him:

1. He's a moderate. He's in favor of civil unions for gays and I'm not sure if he supports gay marriage.

2. He's a mormon and from Utah. Let's be real here: Mitt Romney will definetly run in 2012 and everyone knows it. They would take a lot of votes from each other.

Uh, that's his only "moderate" view. Well, along with admitting we have to do something about climate change...which are two positions that most conservatives hold as well. He does not support gay marriage.

I wouldn't say "most" conservatives hold those views... many, yes, but not "most."

Also, he supported the stimulus, but we've had this discussion.
