Ron Paul's libertarianism sits well with a section of American conservatives though, with his desire to dismantle things like healthcare/social security/any kind of business regulations.
Don't think Huntsman is an ex democrat though. I think he was a republican who accepted a job in Obama's government, but remained as a conservative. Obama tried to work with republicans up until the point they started calling him a liar if he said the sea was blue.
