Excerpt:
"I’ve been saying this for some time now: Jon Huntsman has been promised the Secretary of State position in a second Obama administration in exchange for Huntsman splitting the Republican vote enough in the general election for Obama to squeak to victory a la Ross Perot in 1992. Huntsman today is talking up the “time for a third party” garbage that’s a precursor to him definitively launching a third party run in the spring (presuming Willard “Mittens” Romney is the GOP nominee…as Huntsman was specifically chosen to be the third party alternative to Romney).
For some reason, Republicans are determined not to see what’s clearly happening here — but, then again, the Party of Stupid falls for Democrat traps as often as the Coyote is duped by the Road Runner in the cartoons.
Huntsman was only in the GOP’s nominating contests to build name awareness for a third party run…and he’s only running third party to snag enough votes from the Republicans in the general election for Obama to win re-election. Huntsman will not mount a full, national campaign: but expect him to run third party in key states where his presence will tip the scales to Obama (like in Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida)."
