where the otherwise fairly journalistic-style article suddenly becomes an opinionated blog post, for all of two sentences, and then goes back to normal (for those who hadn't remarked this, I'm referring to the "in Jon Huntsman's America" lines). Very strange.

Otherwise the article makes important points, but of course in politics perception is often reality... and Huntsman's reputation, to the extent he even has one with the greater Republican public, is of being not that conservative.

But of course it's a long time still until Iowa/NH, and a still longer time until the Convention. Who knows what might happen.
