Good article. Should put Newt on alert.

It should put the country on alert to look at Huntsman. I really like his stance on NCLB. Return these functions to the state and local levels. That is where innovation and improvement will come from.

I don't really like Huntsman's take on global warming and hate his past positions on carbon credits, but this is what really concerns me:

Quote:
 
But for many conservatives, Huntsman’s biggest flaw appears to be a question not of policy positions but of attitude. Huntsman seems so enamored of hearing good things about himself on Morning Joe or in the New York Times editorial pages that it drives him to pick unnecessary fights with the GOP base. He often seems contemptuous and dismissive of those who disagree with him. One can’t help feeling that he regards broad swaths of the Republican electorate as ignorant hicks. This is probably unfair — and when it comes to unbridled arrogance, no one can top Newt — but it does raise legitimate concerns about whether a President Huntsman would be willing to take positions that earned him criticism from the establishment press.


I'd like to know more specifics on this and see some examples, but this is the kind of "tell" in a politician that really is scary.

At this time, Mitt is still my choice.
