Jon Huntsman Running for President! (Wait Who?)

Jon Huntsman is in! For what? Who is he? Is he Tim Pawlenty 2.0? No, he is the Chinese guy running for president. He’s not Chinese? He is Mormon. So he is Mitt Romney the Sequel? Huntsman formally declared his candidacy today in the liberal Mecca of New York City, because the socialist French statue is there, which makes a good GOP campaign announcement backdrop. Huntsman is Obama’s former ambassador to China, a job reference he may want to leave off his resume when he hands it to the Republican voters. “Chinese ambassador” sounds an awful lot like “Kenyan Muslim” if you have no idea where China or Kenya are on a map, which is a lot of Americans.
