Topic: Jon Huntsman's views on the race
State of the Union

On Sunday’s State of the Union, Jon Huntsman was brought front and center to talk about how he is faring in the race for the Republican candidate. Currently, he is in New Hampshire campaigning so and he says that he has a really good chance in this state. I guess he backed off Iowa because he knew what the outcome would be? He has high hopes for New Hampshire however, as he his getting high in the polls. He said he “went from 0 to number 3”. I guess his campaigning in pulling off.  He just took out Paul for third place in that state as well. When asked about courts and Gingrich’s policy of not allowing certain courts and judges have the upper hand in making all decisions is something he agreed one, Huntsman changed the subject to the economic and trust deficit in this country and how he would do something about it. After he was asked again, he said it was up to the people to elect judges. Why is he avoiding the question? It seems as if he is not settled upon his policy of the courts and judicial branch. He always talks about the economy and how much he’s going to do for it, but is he really solid in his other policies. He was also asked about how he never had his day in the light unlike the other candidates who went up for a while and then came back down. He has stood pretty steady and he thinks that is a good thing because he is steadily climbing his way up as seen with the New Hampshire primaries. We don’t know what will happen but he seems to think he is at a good place right now. He was also asked about Romney’s comment about how China is “manipulating currency” and that Romney wants to put a tariff on imports. As former ambassador of China, Huntsman disagrees with the tariff idea, saying that if America puts a tax on imports from China then China will do the same to America which is not very good for our economy. He seems to know what he’s talking about which gives him another reason why people might like him and vote for him. He has had a decent record in politics and has been involved in many ways and he is saying people are definitely looking at him in a different way once they figured out about his past. This could be a good thing? We shall find out soon..
