Huntsman for President?

Question: How many Mormons does it take to win the US Presidency? Answer: More than 6.3 million.

Is there really room for two members of the LDS faith in the race for the White House? According to Politico and Wikipedia, US Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman is expected to resign from his current post to explore a potential bid for the US presidency in 2012. Although a final decision is not expected from the ambassador until June or July, the dialogue has begun.

Huntsman's strong point would be true foreign policy experience. Huntsman speaks fluent Standard Mandarin Chinese. His name was recommended to the Republican Party by Senator John McCain as early as 2009.

  1. He doesn't stand a chance. Unfortunately, neither does Mitt (his failed health care plan in Massachusetts makes the Republican Party very wary of him).
