Jon Huntsman's billionaire father, whose family has known the Romneys for years and who has been said to dislike Mitt Romney, made his distaste clear in a New York Times interview that was largely about his philanthropy:
Mr. Huntsman, a longtime Republican stalwart, had plenty to say, in the wide-ranging interview, about politics and the field of presidential candidates, notably Mitt Romney. Republican primary voters, Mr. Huntsman said, are ignoring the best and most qualified candidate, namely his son, Jon M. Huntsman Jr., a former Utah governor.
Mr. Romney, who led the 2002 Winter Olympics here, is hugely popular in Republican-dominated Utah, as is Mr. Huntsman Jr. Mr. Huntsman Sr. was a national finance co-chairman for the Romney campaign in 2008, but those days, he said, are over.
Continue Reading?I?ve worked for three different Romneys,? he said. One time Mr. Romney was a liberal, in running for the Senate in 1994 in Massachusetts against Edward M. Kennedy, Mr. Huntsman said, the next time he was a moderate in running for governor in 2002, and now he is a conservative in seeking the presidency.
?If you need to win that badly,? he said, ?I guess you just kind of do what you have to do get a vote.?
Of course, a more powerful way for Huntsman Sr. to hit Romney would be to put his personal wealth into the super PAC supporting his son. So far he hasn't done that, according to multilple sources.
