Boston Globe Endorses Huntsman for GOP Nominee

[jillian]

For vision and national unity, Huntsman for GOP nominee

Dissatisfaction with the economy, expressed in spasms of anger toward Wall Street and Washington; the dashed hopes of many who believed that Barack Obama’s election would create a new spirit of unity; and genuine uncertainty about Democratic health care reform - all of these have created an historic opportunity for the Republican Party. Just three years removed from a Republican administration that was roundly judged a failure, the party has a chance to renew itself - to blaze a path to bipartisan action on the budget, to introduce market-based solutions to health costs, and to construct a post-Iraq War network of alliances to promote global economic strength, knowing that true security comes from both peace and prosperity.

Who?

 

[editec]

From the perspective of the Boston Globe, I suppose Huntsman is the least objectionable GOP candidate.

 

[konradv]

Who?

Conservative without the crazy. Should we be surprised that the crazy side of the party will pretend he doesn't exist? They want war with Iran, China and NK, so any proponent of sane diplomacy needs to be marginalized.

they don't seem to think much of their former governor.

 

[Toro]

WSJ said he had the best economic platform of all the GOP candidates.

 

[merrill]

Huntsman may be the other republican in the race..

Next to Romney who is sucking up to the RINO's!

That sounds about right from the perspective if the WSJ. If he would let go of the social conservative nonsense, I would have considered voting for him.

Uniter is the new Black.

The Boston Globe Democrat can't endorse Mitt, silly...They want Obama to win!

 

[Mr Natural]

Huntsman is going to have to wait to become the next GOP candidate du jour until after Mr. Sanitorium flames out.

Unfortunately, Hunstman will never get the nomination. Best case scenario is VP. But he will most likely end up as Secretary of State.

There is only one endorsement that every candidate seeks more than all the rest put together and that is AIPAC

(American Israel Public Affairs Committee)

Without this Zionist Jew lobbying group's stamp of approval.

No presidential contender has a snowballs chance in, you know where, of winning.

That's a hot babe ya got there as your avatar.

Suceed Hillary? I know Obama made him ambassador to China, but Sec. of State is a bit of a stretch.

He's a flaming rino or a lib in sheeps clothing.

If you watched any of the republican debates you can tell that Huntsman is the smartest candidate on stage. I would vote for a Ron Paul / Jon Huntsman ticket.

yes, huntsman is probably the smartest person on the GOP stage.... which is one of the reasons the "base" ignores him. he doesn't reinforce their ignorance.

What makes you think Obama will appoint him Secretary of State?

Governor Jon Huntsman debates Newt Gingrich at the Lincoln-Douglas Debate. Clearly Huntsman is the smartest candidate for president in 2012.

Neither did the people of Massachusetts.

Romney is the only GOP candidate who WILL NOT win his home state if nominated.

Santorum has a fifty-fifty chance of carrying PA. Perry will carry Texas, Newt will carry Georgia. But Mass. will remain in the Democratic column no matter who wins.
