I agree with your Huntsman assessment, as I'm quite in tune with him as well (excluding his foreign policy, which wasn't extremely clear anyway).Originally Posted by Stoked
I expect two other names to break the fold as well.
Jesse Ventura and Rand Paul.

Ventura is a show boat and I really have no interest in listening to him. He will gain no traction and would be a fool to even try.
I would be open to hearing what Rand Paul has to say.
2012 GOP field of Huntsman, Jindal, Rubio, Christie, Paul, Gingrich and Perry?

Yeah, I see the nation of Utah having very lax laws, especially drug and alcohol laws. 40% of your gross income to National Tax, 10% of it going to the national government.
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions and congested by Idaho drivers in the left lane.
I agree that Ventura has a very outspoken personality, but I see him as a very viable independent candidate.
Isn't this what everybody said when he ran as an independent for governor of Minnesota?
Not to mention what everybody said about Ron Paul in 2008.
I didn't like the fact that Rand endorsed Mitt Romney towards the end of the race, but I definitely want to hear what he has to say.
If he doesn't mention the federal reserve like I'm sure the rest won't, then he has truly went towards the status quo.
I like that GOP field.

It is certainly a step in the right direction. Personally I'd like to see people like Huntsman, Christie and both Pauls join with Cain in actually giving a 3rd party some steam. Sprinkle in some blue dog dems and waah lah!
That would be the ultimate in moving in the right direction. An actually viable 3rd party in the United States? Wow....

True but we both know that is a pipe dream. It will never start from the top down. It will start, if ever, from the bottom up.
Just like the libertarian party, but when they reached the top they were hijacked.
It has to be completely grassroots, and not sponsored by Wall Street, who by the way were top contributors to both the Romney and Obama campaigns. Illusions of choice.

I doubt Jindal. I've watched him speak before and he has the personality of a wet newspaper. As we seem to have become a country where style is more important than substance I don't think he stands a chance.
I hope that nobody from this past cycle attempts to run but I suspect that at least Santorum will give it a go.
I'm sure there will be a couple of newcomers that give it a shot as well.
Lastly, my early favs are Christie and Rubio.

What about a Rand Paul/Jesse Ventura ticket?

No.
Yeah, and I can see where the numbers are.
Texas: 109K
Louisiana: 35K
Florida/Georgia/Alabama/North Carolina/Tennessee: around 35K
South Carolina/Colorado/Arkansas/Missouri/Arizona/Michigan/Kentucky/Indiana: around 25K
To look at it another way, California has about 37.7 million people and has managed a whole 1,100 sigs, or to put it another way, 0.0003% of the population. Wow, how impressive if that's "all" 50 states.
My points stands, though I'm a tad disappointed by Colorado. Then again the GOP tea party morons here nominated Ken Buck and Dan Maes for Senator/Governor, so the fact they dug up 25K idiots for this petition isn't surprising.
It started with Earl [Watson], Randy [Foye] and Marvin [Williams]–the veteran guys. I thought the young guys did a good job of following their lead getting us off to a good start. - referring to the Jazz/Bobcats game on 3/1/13
Earl, Randy, and Marvin started the first quarter 0-3, scored a whopping zero points, and finished with a turnover in the first quarter.
Your head coach of the Jazz ladies and gentlemen.
Thankfully no, though there are plenty out here. Mostly in the farmland area and Colorado Springs.

Im one of the ones who signed this petition. It felt good to excercise my rights and an american citizen.
Did you really expect that in the land of liberal ideals, that a state like California would do anything other than be quiet and fess up to the status quo?
