Mormon # 2 takes steps towards GOP 2012 primary run

[^_^ 5,021]

Former U.S. Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman took his first step toward a presidential run Tuesday, creating a federal political action committee that will allow him to travel and raise money in the weeks before he’s expected to formally announce a bid.

Moving swiftly since his return to Washington from Beijing Friday, Huntsman filed paperwork with the Federal Election Committee to begin “H PAC.” In the event he runs, the organization will be the last placeholder before he announces a full-blown campaign.

...

The Republican former Utah governor has visited early primary states and conferred at length with his family and the small circle of advisers who have been laying the groundwork for his run since the start of the year.

All signs suggest that he’ll go forward with a bid.

I bought into his company (stock ticker HUN) in December of 2008 at $3.10...Probably only 1500 to 2000 shares.....And probably sold it for around a 20% gain within 2 weeks....Just checked and it looks like HUN closed over $20 today...

Would have been worth quite a bit today but it was money that I couldn't just toss away and let sit.

Cool company though
