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.

STALKING HORSE THIRD PARTY GAINING GROUND

Americans Elect has won ballot approval in 11 states and says it is within days of completing the process in California, the biggest electoral prize. It expects to complete gathering the necessary signatures by Dec. 31 for ballot petitions in all 30 of the states that allow the process to be completed this year; it anticipates no problem meeting the requirements in the remaining states next year.“We’re removing the barrier to entry, which is 50-state ballot access,” said Elliot Ackerman, chief operating officer of Americans Elect.

AS I HAVE BLOGGED MANY TIMES (SCROLL DOWN), THIS IS SOROS/AXELROD/OBAMA'S NY CD 26 STRATEGY: 

GET A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE TO DRAIN AWAY ANTI-OBAMA VOTES WITHOUT GIVING THEM TO THE GOP.


THIS IS THE ONLY WAY OBAMA CAN WIN.

OBAMA'S LAST BEST HOPE FOR RE-ELECTION: RON PAUL RUNNING ON A THIRD PARTY LINE

POLLING PROVES PAUL'D RE-ELECT OBAMA.

I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS IS OBAMA'S STRATEGY FOR MANY MONTHS - SINCE THE DEMS WON NY CD 26 IN A THREE-WAY RACE.

SOROS AND AXELROD WILL FIND A WAY TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN - PROBABLY BY DONATING A HUGE AMOUNT OF LAUNDERED MONEY TO THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY, OR GETTING PAUL TO RUN ON THE AMERICANS ELECT LINE.

STAY TUNED...

 UPDATE: LET'S HOPE THAT GARY JOHNSON TAKES THE LIBERTARIAN LINE BEFORE RON PAUL CAN!

EFFORT TO GET A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE FOR POTUS GAINS MOMENTUM

The restless political middle — emboldened by the recent inability of a special congressional committee to agree on a debt-reduction deal — is staking out a controversial plan to insert itself into the 2012 election.

A bipartisan group of political strategists and donors known as Americans Elect has raised $22 million and is likely to place a third presidential candidate on the ballot in every state next year.

The goal is to provide an alternative to President Obama and the GOP nominee and break the tradition of a Democrat-vs.-Republican lineup.
The effort could represent a promising new chapter for political moderates, who see a wide-open middle in the political landscape as congressional gridlock and bitter partisan fights have driven down favorability ratings for both parties.

“Voters are saddened by the inability of people in Washington to deal with the issues that are important to them,” said the group’s chief executive, Kahlil Byrd, a Republican strategist who once worked for Massachusetts Gov. Deval L. Patrick (D).

Americans Elect has ballot slots in Florida, Michigan, Nevada, Ohio and five other states, with certification pending in several others.

The group is relying on an ambitious plan to hold a political convention on the Internet that would treat registered voters like fans of “American Idol,” giving everyone a shot at picking a favorite candidate.

THIS IS A STEALTH EFFORT TO RE-ELECT OBAMA BY TAKING VOTES AWAY FROM THE GOP IN KEY STATES.

WHY ELSE START THE EFFORT BEFORE THE GOP NOMINEE IS EVEN SELECTED?!

NO DOUBT IT IS REALLY FINANCED BY SOROS AND THE CHICAGO MACHINE SCUM.

I HAVE POSTED NUMEROUS TIMES THAT EVER SINCE THE NY CD 26 ELECTION - WHICH WAS WON BY A DEM IN A 3-WAY RACE - THAT THE LEFT HAD REALIZED THAT THIS WAS THE ONLY WAY TO RE-ELECT OBAMA.

STAY TUNED...
