Ron Paul vs. Jon Huntsman?

I'm watching the debates and I am a HUGE Ron Paul fan. But I gotta say I'm really liking Huntsman too. Can anyone shed some light on pros and cons of each?

    I watched the debate and I like Jon Huntsman as well. I think either would be ok. At the end when they asked the debaters what they would be doing if they were not at the debate all except Paul and Huntsman said shooting my gun and watching sports. Typical to endear themselves to the lowest common denominator. I think Paul and Huntsman are just too intelligent to appeal to the average selfless American.

    Paul has more radical Ideas on currency

    Jon Huntsmann promises he will declare war on Iran.

    On the Jay Leno show Ron Paul called Huntsman a good diplomat and a good man.

    Huntsman returned the favor by producing an anti-ron paul ad that portrayed him as a crazy old man.

    Ron Paul is so right but way too idealistic about defense and the economy. Huntsman is the real deal with a proven record.

    Too bad neither of them have a chance with Republicans.

    Let me tell you something.

    Ron Paul supporters will push him incessantly. They'll list thousands of reasons why he should be our president, but the bottom line is this:

    The man does not live in the real world. He will deconstruct our government and disable it completely. Our government is corrupt, yes, but this is not the answer. Cutting this, cutting that.

    Huntsman provides real 21st century solutions. I urge you to look at his record, he is truly the candidate of the people this go-around.

    Ron Paul

    Pro: Every policy and position

    Con: He's old so even changing the Contitution to allow him to be president for more than two times won't do any good. that's the only one.

    Huntsman

    Con: Wants to expand the power and scope of government until everyone is enslaved to it.

    Pro: Isn't Mitt Romney. that's the only one

    A major difference is that Huntsman has successful executive leadership experience as Governor of Utah.

    i'm mostly concerned with Ran Paul's "make peace" ideology ...

    otherwise -- RP all the way.

    Huntsman won't win the nod -- haven't even bothered looking in to his background.

    They both are no where near as intelligent as Obama. Paul didn't attack Romney so there is no way he is going to be tough enough to beat Obama. They need to beat Obama & they can't. Donna Brazille just said that they are letting Mitt win & this is great for dems.
