When did Hell freeze over?

1. He really isn't a typical Republican.

That's why he has no fucking chance to be their nominee. None whatsoever.

If he won, I think he'd easily beat Obama.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

4. I'll say more:

He's the only Republican contender whose hypothetical victory against Obama would be just a bad thing, instead of a global catastrophe.

I see lots of fun ahead in their primary.

2. I wouldn't call him crazy, I'd call him intelligent and a discerning thinker. nt

[skepticscott]

8. Well, except for the part

about his being a Republican.

[gateley]

11. Yeah - there is that. nt

[Drale]

3. Huntsman may not be completely insane but

he's a chinese sympathizer and would promptly hand the government of the United States over to China if he was elected.

[Riftaxe]

9. Well Presidents past and present

have given everything else to China, why not civil service jobs and political offices?

Just for fun, google how much of the stimulus money wound up there.

5. "Don't worry Governor Huntsman--they will." Keith Olbermann

I think he's trying to come across as the token moderate GOP candidate who can scoop up the ex-Bushies, embarrassed moderates, angry minorities, and disappointed independents who may not vote for Obama. Of course, he'll execute a sharp right turn once he's in office.

6. Maybe he's Catholic

The Catholic Church teaches Evolution, not Creationism. "God created Evolution." Intelligent Design I suppose, but you don't need to teach the Bible for that one. The Bible isn't a Science Textbook, or be taken as literal truth, as far as they are concerned.

[Recursion]

7. He's Mormon, and they definitely don't (nt)

[white_wolf]

10. Give them a few decades.

Once Evolution is fully accepted one of their "prophets" will get a "revelation" from God telling him to order the Church to accept evolution as part of the divine plane. They got similar "revelations" dealing with polygamy and allowing black to hold the priesthood.
