Jon Huntsman is right about Wall Street
Huntsman criticizes the bailouts and proposes a breakup of Wall Street's biggest banks. Why isn't this guy leading the polls?

Mitt Romney is leading but his Wall Street policies lie somewhere between status quo proponent and Big Bank apologist.
His fellow candidate Jon Huntsman penned an op-ed for Fox News that's been getting a lot of attention as it makes its way around the web - because he is the ONLY candidate talking about the fact that we've made our Too Big To Fail banks even Too Biggier.

Huntsman's solution is to break them up.
Now obviously Jon can't win, at least not in this cycle.聽 The hardcore in the party are convinced that he's been turned - either by the Chinese, with whom he lived as ambassador or by Obama himself, the man who sent him there.
But the irony is that Jon may well be the most qualified to actually run the country.聽 He's level headed, has run a state as Governor, is worldly and forward-thinking and knows how to do business in a global economy.聽 So of course, he's running neck-and-neck with a can of stewed tomatoes in the back of the GOP pack.
Oh well.
