Former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, Jr. announced his Presidential bid today, his wife Mary Kaye showing her support.
In her article The Unrelucant Spouse, Politico writer Kasie Hunt wrote:
Mary Kaye Huntsman stands out from the crowd of prospective 2012 presidential spouses in one important way: she actually wants her husband to be president.
In a season of reluctant partners, she's not only supportive of Jon Huntsman's presidential run but a key force in making it happen.
Indeed, Mrs. Hunstman appears to be fully on board with her husband's political aspirations, and looks like she could easily fit into the role of First Lady.
