'''Jon Meade Huntsman, Jr.''', a [[RINO]] who was born into an extremely wealthy family in [[Utah]], may seek the [[Republican]] nomination for president in 2012.<ref>http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2071003,00.html</ref>
The [[libertarian]] [[Cato Institute]] has praised his tax policies, but criticized his spending.<ref>http://www.cato.org/pubs/pas/pa-624.pdf</ref>
He supports civil unions for [[homosexuals]]<ref>http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/jazz/51795519-90/civil-cowan-gay-governor.html.csp</ref> but claims to be [[pro-life]].<ref>http://dailycaller.com/2011/06/03/jon-huntsman-touts-pro-life-record-at-faith-and-freedom-coalition-conference/</ref>
Having almost no chance of winning the nomination,<ref>See [[Presidential Election 2012]].</ref> Huntsman may simply be an attempt to siphon support away from [[Mitt Romney]].
[[Liberal]] [[Barack Obama]] appointed Huntsman as his ambassador to [[China]]. He was previously ambassador to Singapore for [[George H.W. Bush]]. He served as the governor of Utah from 2005-2009.
