Family Matters: Huntsman Brings His Kids on Campaign Trail

Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. formally launched his presidential bid Tuesday at Liberty State Park in New Jersey with his picture-perfect family, his wife, Mary Kaye , and seven children, including five-year-old Asha , who was adopted from India, and Gracie Mei , 12, adopted from China. Mr. Huntsman has taken his wife and at least some of their children on virtually every campaign stop so far.

In a typical appearance earlier this month in Nashua, N.H., he introduced each of the three daughters present, and then called over Gracie Mei.

“You want to cut through the politics and get to the bottom line of life, the greatest thing we have ever done is bring to kids into our lives who had no future,” he told a gathering of 40 or so people at a house party in Nashua. “And I don’t say that gratuitously, I say that with joy and enormous satisfaction….They make our life full of joy on a regular basis.”

Other candidates may have more than the average number of children. Former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania also boasts seven children. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has five sons. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota has five kids and around two dozen foster children.

If Mr. Huntsman’s call for civility falls flat, the contenders will have plenty of troops for battle.

Unlike Romney’s boys, Jon Huntsman’s children are either serving or have served in the US military.

Contrast that to Romney who in 2008 stated that his 5 sons had shewn patriotism by working on Mitt’s campaign. In another you tube clip of Romney (using the search query [ROMNEY'S FLIP FLOPS]), Romney says he will need to “talk to the lawyers” when asked for his stance on the Iraqi war).

Yep.

I was for Mitt Romney before I was against Mitt Romney ….. wait …. on second thoughts …..

Flip Flop keep ringing in my head (I am humming along)

Huntsman Spiders get their name by waiting for prey to come close, and like lions, chase their prey for short distances. Contrary to their gangly and cumbersome appearance, Hunstman Spiders are very fast and are able to chase down their prey with ease.

Hunstman Spiders are extremely aggressive, will arch up to make displays to frighten off perceived threats, and will tenaciously cling to attackers or perceived attackers if they think it will protect them. Given any other circumstance, Hunstman Spiders are designed to slip through holes and cracks and will escape if they feel outmatched.
