Republican Senator John Cornyn says he thinks that's what the White House wants to happen in 2012.
The Hill reports that Cornyn, who heads up the National Republican Senatorial Committee, tweeted out a link to a CNN story floating the idea of Huntsman as a third-party candidate.
But Huntsman's made no mention of such a possibility, and appears to have his sights set only on the Republican nomination. Cornyn's tweet would seem to belie a concern, though, that a third party bid by Huntsman would subtract more votes from the eventual Republican nominee than from Obama.
