Huntsman and his daughters are still in.

not only does he have hot daughters, but he actually has some good ideas.

You know, I hear a lot about Huntsman and his moderate-ness and his good ideas. Admittedly, I haven't bothered to learn too much about him since I didn't expect him to be around very long. But from what I can see, he's pretty indistinguishable from all but one of the other candidates:

- As govenor, he cut taxes and increased spending faster than wages grew in Utah
- Embraces Paul Ryan's Medicare reforms and a balanced budget amendment
- Quote from an Iowa debate: "Let me tell you the real problem that we're up against. If you want to build a facility in the United States, you can't, because of the EPA's regulatory reign of terror."
- Favors DOMA and a Right to Life amendment
- After originally saying he "trusted scientists" on climate change, he changes his stance once conservatives began scrambling for an anti-Romney: "There are questions about the validity of the science, evidenced by one university over in Scotland recently."
- Appeared in 2007 with Arnold and Montana Gov Brian Schweitzer urging Congress to pass cap-and-trade legislation; he's since changed his tune now that he's running for the Oil Party's nomination.
- (My personal favorite) Wants to build a fence to keep out the dirty "illegals"

I'll take your word, sls, that he has some good ideas. But on the whole, he just seems like more of the same to me.

Still, smoking hot daughters.

didn't know that he flipped against science on climate change and evolution. he did believe in them before.
and - he is not the model candidate imo.
he does have reasonable foreign policy experience
he has a reasonable plan for financial reform

doesn't matter anyway

just saw this on the local ABC news

preliminary poll results from South Carolina

1-Ron Paul
2-Rick Perry
3-Steve Colbert
4-John Huntsman

I wish. RCP says it's Romney by 9%. Still haven't decided who I'm voting for.

VDB, are you a registered Republican or is SC an open primary?

Jim DeMint is supposed to endorse Romney today so that may well push him over the top and further my point that the Tea Party is not nearly as principled as they'd have you believe.

Open primary, but you have to pick one when both parties are holding them. So in 2008 I did not get to vote in the GOP contest as I'd voted in the earlier Dem primary. (Not sure what would've happened if I tried, though. I assume they'd have a mechanism for knowing, but then, this is South Carolina...)
Is this still Wombat?

I wouldn't doubt this for a second. You sick bastard!  :shakehead:

Seriously though, it's just a matter of time before they're all voted off the island leaving us with Romney. I'm just surprised Huntsman dropped before Newt and Perry.
Sometimes we live no particular way but our own.

You know, the absence of pictures posted on this topic makes me think that you guys are overstating the hotness.
Personally, I'll not be googling Huntsman for fear he'll take it as encouragement to do something other than disappear into the obscurity he so richly deserves.

They're pretty hot. Maybe not "stop-you-in-your-tracks" hot, but definitely "sit-through-a-ridiculously-optimistic-speech-after-finishing-a-distant-third-in-the-only-state-he-campaigned-in-just-to-look-at-your-hot-daughters" hot:

the far left blonde in this pic looks like my ex... disturbingly so. blech.

I've been coming to where I am from the get go
Find that I can groove with the beat when I let go
So put your worries on hold
Get up and groove with the rhythm in your soul

Open primary, but you have to pick one when both parties are holding them. So in 2008 I did not get to vote in the GOP contest as I'd voted in the earlier Dem primary. (Not sure what would've happened if I tried, though. I assume they'd have a mechanism for knowing, but then, this is South Carolina...)

You would just need to pretend to be someone else...

Pretty sure they have laws against that type of thing, well maybe not in South Carolina.   :wink:

GQ really taps into the modern, internet porn loving, man's fantasy with this shot.

Except they all should be 'singing' into 'microphones'.
