What is it with everyone playing mind reader on everything ever said by anyone? I was all set to berate Former Utah Governor and US to China Ambassador Jon Huntsman following a headline from the Boston Globe titled “Jon Huntsman refuses to rule out possibility of independent candidacy for president”. Not wanting to illustrate illiteracy I read the article and in it, technically kind of and sort of based on some leading questions from a reporter Huntsman doesn’t rule it out. But there isn’t any kind of solid reporting on the relevance of the question other than his moderate stances. If there were any explicit signs from Huntsman other than assumptions based on flimsy premises then the question would be valid. As is, it’s just a waste of space masquerading as news intended to unnerve voters looking to elect a new President who know that an ostensibly conservative independent could sink the Republican challenger to President Obama next fall.
