i can see why Obama tapped Huntsman for an ambassadorship

[scheming daemons]

He might be the sole sane republican in america.

[joshcryer]

1. I really feel bad for him.

[sufrommich]

2. Scary that they are down to one. nt

[Rick Myers]

3. I really llike the guy!

So he doesn't have an ice cubes chance in Hell!!!

[HERVEPA]

4. Uh, he's not really very good actually.

A little more sane than the others.

[BlueMTexpat]

6. Exactly - he only looks good by comparison.

But at least he doesn't back away from global warning and evolution.

Of course, that's why he'll never get the Rethug nomination.

[liberalmuse]

5. Agreed.

A few years ago I suspected this was why Obama appointed him, but no worries. Fat chance of the Republican Party going for him. They are into The Crazy these days.

[Sirveri]

7. He's just treading in territory that was already blazed by Ron Paul.

Sane on some social issues, but totally insane on economics and workers rights.

[girl gone mad]

8. Uh, yeah, cause there are no sane Democrats?

[scheming daemons]

9. Um ...99% of democrats are sane

[girl gone mad]

13. Then his first choice should have been a Democrat.

10. obama has a republican secretary of transportation who...

would love to have more money for road , bridge, and bicycle lanes and trails.

he`s the guy who pulled the funds from wisconsin,ohio,and florida.

11. Huntsman's new job: ambassador to crazyville

"Their language is deceptive... at first it sounds a lot like English, but it's actually much harder to understand than Mandarin Chinese."

[JohnnyRingo]

12. And for that reason doesn't stand a chance.

I think he'd do better if he showed up wearing sunglasses with one lens popped out, and an orange traffic cone on his head. Certainly, that would beat Bachmann. Barely.

[brentspeak]

14. The same Jon Huntsman who helped push NAFTA and MFN for China?

Which, consequently, have decimated America's middle class and pushed us into a plutocracy?

Tell us more about why you like this guy.
