Huntsman was the most conservative of the candidates.
Do your research. No more Santorums or Ryans are acceptable.

Our GOP candidates of the future will look more like Huntsman than Santorum.
The past two GOP candidates have looked more like Huntsman than Santorum...and we've seen the results...two losses.
The problem with Huntsman is, he is mostly liberal.
Why vote for the liberal in a red suit when there is a liberal running in a blue suit?
For the record, IMO, we don't want a Santorum, or a Bush like candidate...
But if the GOP serves up another moderate, the DNC will only spike it in our face again for the hat-trick.
No matter who it was, the dems were going to demonize the opposition.
Looks like they're getting an early start on the potential opposition for the 2016 election.

They're already going after Rubio...Palinizing him early... the party of inclusion and cooperation as well as bipartisanship.
How can a Republican even begin to accuse anyone else of demonizing the oppostion. Their whole campaign was one of demonizing the President. No plans of their own, just "We have to make President Obama a one term President".
Romney's own comments, and those of some Senate candidates did more to demonize the GOP this cycle than anything that any Democrat said.

yup....and they also got the general out early, also.

If you put up people like the field that you presented this time, you will lose in 2016. Religious fruitloops and radical right wing nutcases just won't fly with most of the voters.
Untill the GOP ceases to be the party of willfull ignorance, they are going to have difficulties in winning national elections. Untill they cease the hate talk on gays, women, and minorities, they are not going to get votes from those people. Untill they stop pandering to the very wealthy at the expense of all of us on the factory floor, they will continue to see their base among working Americans erode.
Huntsman was the only candidate that was promoting policies, rather than demonizing everything that the President has had a hand in. He would have had a chance. However, the fruitloops in the GOP made sure that he never had a chance at the nomination. Should these same people determine the candidate in 2016, the result will be the same.
One additional note. The GOP and it's PACs spent $6.35 per vote this election. The Dems and their PACs spent $1.83. The days that you can simply throw money and TV adds at the electorate and win elections are gone. Rove and his PAC spent $390,000,000. And not one of the candidates they backed won.
I always enjoy it when John is on a panel (MSNBC, CNN), he has tons of well thought messages and is a generally intelligent and eloquent guy. And he ignores the idiot Neocons.
I do not agree with his politics, but he would have won it for the GOP hands down. but, he probably would not have gotten behind the tax cuts deal.
If the GOP moves this direction they will be in power much more often.
