Morning Examiner: Conservatives embracing Huntsman

Newt Gingrich may be currently at the top of the polls, but the last obstacle to a Mitt Romney nomination could end up being Jon Huntsman instead. Like Donald Trump, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, and Herman Cain before him, Newt’s poll numbers will eventually collapse. From his support for cap and trade to the $1.6 million he was paid to lobby for Freddie Mac, the reality of Newt as the embodiment of everything the Tea Party hates about Washington will ultimately be his undoing.

So who will be next? If the conservative media, both establishment and insurgent, is to believed, it could just be Jon Huntsman.
