For the second time in three days, sadly overlooked GOP presidential candidate Jon Huntsman has resisted taking a Shermanesque position on potentially running for president as an independent. On Sunday, Huntsman told Fox News’s Chris Wallace that running as a Republican is “where I fully expect to be.” Today, he gave the Boston Globe a similar answer: >
Asked, “Is there any situation in which you would run for president as an independent?” Huntsman told The Boston Globe, “I don’t think so.”
Told that anything but a flat denial could perpetuate speculation about the possibility, Huntsman replied: “I’m a lifelong Republican. I’m running as a Republican, and I fully anticipate that that’s where we’re going to be.”
