After a grueling campaign season, Obama’s campaign manager Jim Messina sat down for a rare on camera interview Tuesday morning with Politico’s White House corespondent Mike Allen. Allen asked Messina “what republican candidate would have had the best shot at beating your boss?”
Messina thought for a moment and said, “I think we were honest about our concerns about Huntsman.”
“I think Huntsman would have been a very tough general election candidate,” he continued. “He’s a good guy. We looked at his profile in a general election and thought he would have been difficult.”
