Huntsman 3rd party candidate?

[Owlet]

Interesting bit of speculation here


"In the dog days of summer and in the aftermath of the unusual earthquake that hit the Washington area and other parts of the East Coast, maybe it’s time to play a little parlor game related to next year’s presidential election and a major disruption that just might occur. I am talking about the increasing probability that a serious independent third-party run might just occur. And by the manner in which former Utah governor and Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman is conducting himself this week in high-profile criticizing of his own party, he and his campaign might also be eyeing this probability."

"Further, in an analysis I did a few years back on the composition of a general-election electorate, it signals an opening for a more-moderate independent candidate as well. The Republican Party base—for smaller government, low taxes, and socially conservative—represents about 26 percent of all voters. The Democratic Party’s bloc—for larger government, higher taxes, and more socially progressive—represents about 23 percent of all voters. Thus, 51 percent of the electorate is a mishmash of independents, not ideological members of either political party."

The Democratic Party’s bloc—for larger government, higher taxes

That's the signal to stop reading, because you can't trust anything this person writes.

When I hear MSM reference the "GOP base," and the "Democratic Left," my remote automatically changes channels -- just another "reality" show.
