Huntsman is out!

He is announcing this morning he is pulling out of the race. Some would say he was never in it to begin with. His timing seems odd to me. But what reall surprises me is him endorsing Romney. Although they share the same faith, there really is a lot of tension between the two. Huntsman made waves the last Presidential election cycle when he endorsed McCain. Not only endorsed, but activly campaigned for him. While John's father, John Huntsman Sr., Founder of Huntsman Chemical, a very wealthy and very generous man, endorsed Romney. I was shocked to hear that Jr. is endorsing Romney. It makes me wonder if he has desires for a future run perhaps, and/or an appointment on Romneys administration, should he win. It's certainly not that Huntsman needs the work. He has a ton of money and could be living a life of ease if he wanted. But then again, so could Romney. Hopefully he is running simply for a desire to serve his Country. But maybe I'm just nave!
