Ex-Utah Gov. Huntsman Enters GOP Race 
--------------------------------------



Former Utah governor, Jon Huntsman, has announced his intent to enter
the Republican presidential race. Huntsman most recently served as the
U.S. ambassador to China, stepping down earlier this year. On Tuesday,
Huntsman confirmed his candidacy at a public event with former Secretary
of State, Henry Kissinger.

Jon Huntsman: "I intend to announce that I will be a candidate for the
presidency one week from today. My family looks shocked and surprised
because they are. I hadn't told them yet."
