EVEN MORE PROOF HUNTSMAN IS OBAMA'S STALKING HORSE: WHITMAN OF AMERICANS ELECT ENDORSES HIM FOR 3RD PARTY RUN

HOT AIR:

Former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman seems to have picked up a new fan in the person of former New Jersey Governor and EPA chief (under George W. Bush) Christine Todd Whitman. Seeing Whitman jumping in for something (or somebody) outside the conservative mainstream is nothing unusual, and this is no exception. She’s not necessarily pushing for Huntsman to get the GOP nod, but rather for her new, third party initiative.

Former New Jersey Gov. Christie Todd Whitman, who is leading a group to draft a third-party presidential candidate, is encouraging Jon Huntsman to make an independent bid for the White House.

“I would hope he would do it, frankly. He’s someone that I would support,” Whitman said Friday in an interview with POLITICO.

Whitman, a Republican, said a third-party effort by Huntsman is the way to go because she believes it’s unlikely he has much of shot at the GOP nomination. “I don’t see that kind of traction unless he can pull off a surprise in New Hampshire, where independents are allowed to vote,” she said.

Whitman is a board member for Americans Elect, an initiative to get a third party candidate directly selected by independents around the country on the ballot in all fifty states.

"I TOLD YOU SO" - LIKE A DOZEN TIMES.

ABOUT HUNTSMAN AND AMERICANS ELECT.

BEFORE ANYONE ELSE ANYWHERE.

NY CD 26 SHOWED THE DEMOCRATS THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN WIN: GET A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE TO DRAIN AWAY 3-5% OF THE GOP/ANTI-DEM VOTE.

I BELIEVE HUNTSMAN HAS PLANNED ON THIS FROM THE VERY START.

WE HAVE TO SLAM OBAMA DOWN BELOW 40% IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS ROUTE POINTLESS.
