Thanks to Politico!

This week’s addition to the 2012 GOP lineup might not have an “h” in his first name, but he definitely has one in his last.

Jon Huntsman is the former Governor of Utah and Ambassador to China and now a candidate for president in 2012!

And today, I’m a candidate for the office of President of the United States of America.”

Though a Republican, the newest candidate has often been described as a moderate (a rarity in today’s Republican party). His announcement, at Liberty State Park in New Jersey, noticeably lacked any harsh criticism of his former boss, President Obama.

I don’t think you need to run down anyone’s reputation to run for President.

Of course we’ll have our disagreements. I respect my fellow Republican candidates. And I respect the President. He and I have a difference of opinion on how to help the country we both love. But the question each of us wants the voters to answer is who will be the better President; not who’s the better American.”

Huntsman’s current strategy is centered on his credentials, but will it work?

Who will kickoff their campaign next? Michele Bachmann! As if we didn’t see that coming.
