And that raises questions about how the party’s eventual nominee will fare with science-minded voters against President Barack Obama in November.
“There are a lot of reasons Huntsman was not successful, but his story does raise important questions about primary voters and the Republican Party going forward,” said Adam Mendelsohn, a political adviser to former California Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. “The issue never really saw the light of day in the Republican primary. The question now is whether that becomes a liability with swing voters in the general.”...
Huntsman entered the Republican nomination race last spring amid considerable media hype. Time magazine headlined an exclusive interview with Huntsman — just off the plane from Beijing — by touting the ex-governor as “The Potential Republican Presidential Candidate Democrats Most Fear.”
