Oh puhleeze. Obama had absolutely NO fear of Huntsman. He didn´t make a dent in the primaries from the beginning. Clearly Republicans didn´t want him so what´s to fear?

They feared no one because they knew they had all the states they needed covered by fraud.

Huntsman? Ha!

This is total BS .
Huntsman is a known RINOs and a total limp wrested Obama loving fool

yeah right. Huntsman and his idiot daughter have been knocking the Repubs since he lost in the primaries.

Hey Brits, that´s like saying Hitler feared Neville Chamberlain the most.

Huntsman must be seeking another appointment from Obama. Perhaps as Ray LaHood´s replacement at Transportation. RINO to replace a RINO.

Well, I know he was the republican I feared most, at least right after the Ditsy twins from Maine, and Snarlen Arlen!

#1..you beat me to it...Oh, Puuuleeze is right.they would have loved..loved having that twit be the nominee..the one they really fear is Sarah Heath Palin ....

Well golly, I guess the the Republican party better move to the far left if we want to win.

Nice try Messina now go molest yourself.

Barbra Streisand.

That´s why they demonized him. Oh, wait...

I don´t buy this one.

I have some swampland in Florida ...

Gingrich was the Republican candidate Obama and the Repubs feared most because he would have mopped the floor with Obama in the debates, in his ads and on a daily basis before voters.

I find #4´s comment about Hitler and Chamberlain ironic because Gingrich reminds me of Winston Churchill, whom Hitler should have feared. Gingrich would have been our Churchill in our war on terror.

Agreed. If Mr. Newt had stuck with his strategy of having Obama be his travel planner (by going to the same place as he, four hours later and rebutting what Obama had just said), it would have been a totally different campaign.

Would Newt had won? Who knows, it could have been a worse loss than 2008. But it would not have been predictable for the Obama campaign and their media chorus line.

Get real. It was Herman Cain.

Huntsman did very poorly in the GOP primary. He got nowhere. Anyone who believes the line of this article is definitely a D or F student.

I would have stayed home.

This is the lib media trying to establish plausibility for Huntsman in 2016. How stupid do they think we are?

I do believe the left is trying to make us believe that Obama feared Huntsman. Huntsman is the perfect, wimpy, boring candidate. Lets face it, we needed a man with Romney´s personal character and Newt´s intellect. We needed someone that could fight back against being Palinized. We didn´t have a person in one embodiment who could do that thi time.

Total BS. Even after the election, they´re still hurling the cowpies.

These idiots make up stories as they go.

How do you figure Newt Gingrich could get the nomination when he was not on the ballot in Virginia and was on the ballot in some counties and not others in at least one other state?

He should have known that and all of us should have known that. He was never a threat to Obama but he was a threat to Romney´s electability, and all to absolutely no purpose.

There would have been little choice between The Won and Huntsman. That´s why this story is coming out and that´s why Huntsman cut his losses.

Huntsman is the prototype republican the left wants all of them to be so this story is to embellish the theme that republicans all need to become open minded RINOS and cave to the left´s wishes.Huntsman lost me as soon as he embraced climate change.

Obama won because the left has made an absolute science out of what areas to micro target for cheating prospects.Obviously this includes local election officials.

Reportedly their choice for most feared opponent came down to Huntsman or Peewee Herman.

In the future, the only candidate the dems need fear is one who sells out our country better than they are presently doing. And the pubbies are in the process of finding just the right candidate for that job.

Huntsman is a phony little wimp.

More rope-a-dope. When does it end, already? I am way sick of helpful political advice from those who are rooting for our extinction.

Come on, now, people. We got Jim´s emails. We know he´d NEVER LIE.....


/s gag, spit

I do not believe this for a moment. Mr. Huntsman came across as a Casper Milqtoast. Mild mannered, shy and he has Very weak looking mouth.

"I think we are honest about out concerns about Huntsman"? Fellow posters, when was the last time you had to "think" you were Honest?

The Obama campaign feared Huntsman the most? Yeah, right -- and I´m the Easter Bunny. Go teach your grandmother how to sit in a recliner, Messina.

Must read? This is a must read? Anyone else feel like they have missed the Rapture? This is zero-calorie news, almost National Enquirer level. When checking out at the grocery store yesterday, I saw that Obama had double-crossed Bill Clinton on his deathbed. Now that´s a must read! /s
I still feel that this site is the best on the web, but it´s slipping and has been ever since that horrible day almost 2 years ago. Instead of banning me, please make some improvements in order to stay on (or near) the top of anyone´s list of news sites worth visiting. There´s not one solitary soul on this planet who honestly believes we MUST know that Obama feared Huntsman. Credibility takes a huge hit when such things happen. It´s almost disrespectful to the loyal readers who´ve supported this site with their wallet. Getting banned in 3, 2, 1.......

Point taken #34. Perhaps there was comedic intent in making it a must read.

No one expects us to believe it but Bam´s people do not miss an opportunity to poke a finger in our collective eye.

´´If´´ Huntsman came out attacking Obama and spilling the secrets he might have been in the mix for a while. He never laid a hand on Bam (and could have).

Yeah. Sure they did.

The corrupt media has poked a finger in our collective eye, and we need to poke back!

Newt was my man. I thought we needed a street fighter. I haven´t changed my mind.

If Rubio is our only savior now according to the media, he needs to get some history lessons from Newt.

BTW I have been communicating to Boehner that he needs to talk to Newt! Newt was successful with the corrupt Dems.

We are wasting a lot of bandwidth on this clown.

Total baloney. The seeds here were probably planted by the RNC so they can nominate another loser in 2016. The 2012 election was stolen and the GOP is doing nothing. Twenty million voters just don´t disappear overnight.

Huntsman had all of Romney´s disadvantages and none of his positive qualities. Plus...talk about someone who lacks the common touch!

They feared Huntsman the same way the NBA All Stars fear the Washington Generals.

Yay! If it is April 1st I can turn my water on at the Lake!

They successfully demonized Romney´s family (and self-made) wealth, and John Huntsman´s father is a billionaire. Talk about a made-to-order negative campaign of envy and resentment.

#31 is right - There is something very strange, off-putting about that man´s mouth.

this article is just nonsense. i am still stunned that romney lost and what that means for this country. i rarely read politics these days (after the election) but this article is ridiculous and who cares anyway? unless repubs get out the vote with minorities there will not be any more repub presidents. hispanics and blacks aren´t stupid, but they are ignorant of republican ideas and ideals - those can be transmitted but only with a longterm grassroots application, starting now. sadly, though, there doesn´t seem to be anyone at the head of the pub party who really knows what he is doing.
i am still sickened by romney´s loss. how could that have happened????

This article sounds like GOP establishment/Bush family propaganda. Their number one goal isn´t to defeat democrats or Obama. It´s to get us to shut up. It´s to defeat the Tea Party and any articulate conservative voice. The Silent Majority is supposed to surrender to a globalist like Jeb Bush who´s now a golf pal of Bloomberg´s.

No. 47, this is a figment of your imagination.Neither the GOP establishment nor the Bush family has anything to gain by spouing such nonsense as is in this article. How would it help them in any way?

Sarah was the one they were afraid of. This is just mere KGB disinformation.

I don´t think there was really anybody in the republican line up Obama was really afraid of. With the help of the media Orcs the fix was in.

I first heard it more than a year ago when Democratic strategists and operatives started saying that Huntsman was the guy to beat and it continued into the primary. Many have repeated it since the general election ended in Romney´s defeat. It wasn´t true then and it isn´t true now, but it´s a meme they want out there.

Shadow of the man his father is...And not fit to polish his shoes.
