If Republicans were smart, they'd nominate Jon Huntsman to go up against Barack Obama in 2012. The majority of Huntsman's values are conservative, however he has had liberal...I mean common sense views on global warming and evolution. Not to mention his power and work as a U.S. Ambassador to China.
Huntsman recently said he would call on the wealthy to "sacrifice".
"As president, I wouldn’t hesitate to call on a sacrifice from all of our people, even those at the very highest end of the income spectrum,” Huntsman said.
The reason the GOP would be wise to put Huntsman up against Obama, is because Huntsman could possibly win over disappointed, centrist democrats as well as the undecided independents. The average undecided American voter isn't going to vote for someone who is bulldozing and then expanding their $12 million dollar beach house, or someone who is promising to lower gas prices below $2 a gallon. These average undecided American voters don't want a candidate whose sole focus is restricting abortions or banning the construction and support of Muslim Mosques. They are looking to vote for a candidate who has common sense and is down to earth. If the Republican Party puts up a candidate that doesn't hold such common sense values and is making "out-of-this-world" promises, then those average undecided American voters will vote for Barack Obama who is down to earth and has an agenda that is not batshit crazy. Those frustrated liberals and centrist democrats will also support Obama, knowing that the alternative will destroy this wonderful country of ours.
