That and sex scandals seems to be all they want to talk about.
But the point I was making is that Huntsman suffers from the "to much like Romney" curse. He just doesn't resonate with the conservative base and I doubt he ever will. He might make a fine choice for a cabinet position but he doesn't have the personal charisma and fighters attitude the base of the republican is looking for. Being pro-life and pro-gun is fine but those bare minimums not qualification. He can try and play up his success in Utah but it has 1.3 million less people than Harris county does. It is great but you know Palin was really popular in Alaska when she was nominated.
Like I said if he is still around I would consider voting for him but I don't think it should be much of a surprise that he hasn't generated much excitement.

Jon Huntsman, the No-Drama Conservative (he speaks like a diplomat but he is no moderate)

The religions are crazy. The people believing in them are not necessarily crazy.

At the risk of extended tangent, that's a reasonable premise, but not one that leads to atheism.

If you read it as a positive pro-Huntsman article, that only makes the contrast weirder still. *NM*
