Jon Huntsman is more conservative than Mitt Romney - and has been consistent on the issues throughout his career. Jon Huntsman is a gentleman. He is articulate and incredibly smart. I don't agree with him on everything, but I respect him. He is absolutely the most experienced and presidential candidate that the GOP has - he was a governor, an ambassador and a very successful business man. He understands how to govern, he understand foreign policy/international affairs and he understands the economy. So, it is perplexing to me that he doesn't get more attention. Buddy Roemer is the most endearing man in the race - he is homespun sweet and reminds me of a wise grandpa. He gets NO coverage because he won't take any pac money. He will only take small donations, so he is really running to make a point about taking money out of the political process - which I totally agree with. He was a congressman and the governor of Louisiana. He is passionate and credible. But, I am starting to believe that the Republicans are so angry that they just want a candidate who can verbally bash Obama with insane rhetoric - the first 3 years of his presidency, they spent ranting about his birth certificate and speculation about his religion?! I mean, really?!@#! We've got an international economic crisis going on and instead of everyone rolling up their sleeves and figuring out how to get people in this country back to work, we have become so petty and small in our thinking. It's sad. Anyway, please learn more about these candidates and let me know what you think! I won't be voting for them, but they don't scare me. (-:

I agree totally with everything you said. I also like Jon Huntsman, but unfortunately, like I said, the media pretty much controls it all and succeeds a lot, if not most, of the time. (media on both sides) I will check out the other one you mentioned. I am still involved in GOooH (GOOOH.Com) which is running only representatives to the House. I saw an interesting piece on TV recently, and can't remember the guy's name who started this, but it sounds interesting and could be the answer for elections. I think the web site was Americansvote.org. Not sure about that. I'll check it out and get back to you. I didn't know I was going to bring that up or would have verified it before hand.
