In an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Thursday, Huntsman called for the rise of a third party, saying another option in presidential politics “would be a healthy thing.
“I think we’re going to have problems politically until we get some sort of third party movement or some voice out there that can put forth new ideas,” Huntsman said. “Someone’s going to step up at some point and say we’ve had enough of this. The real issues are not being addressed and it’s time that we put forward an alternative vision, a bold thinking. We might not win, but we can certainly influence the debate.”
When pressed as to whom the “we” referred to, Huntsman said, “a whole bunch of Americans out there that can’t find a place politically.” He was quick to rule out his own possible bid as a third party candidate.
“That ain’t gonna be me, by the way,” Huntsman said, pre-empting the inevitable question. “I’m not interested in that.”

It would be nice to see Huntsman on a third party ticket. 2012 elections are the last gasp of hope for this country. If...
