Memo to Reps (and Dems): Don't Count Jon Huntsman Out..........by Dan Friedman

Huntsman forms committee ahead of possible 2012 bid

[Jon Huntsman may be a Republican unknown today and a latecomer on the nation political scene, but if this lengthy 2010 interview with Charlie Rose is any indication, he has many qualities that could quickly make him a strong contender for the Republican nomination.

Some pundits say Jon Huntsman will have to explain his willingness to serve as Ambassador to China in Obama’s administration. But if Huntsman gains the Republican nod it will be Obama who will have to explain why he trusted the former Utah governor to serve in such an important and sensitive post. df]
