I think that had the rethugs run Jon Huntsman instead of Mittiot, the thugs would be in the white house today. Huntsman was the one candidate who scared me the most in the sense that he could snatch a second term victory away from Democrats and I was relieved when he dropped out of the race and had nothing to do with their convention.

Huntsman represented the type of republican that understands the world in a larger context, with him being Ambassador to China--not too many of their ilk have ever been outside of the US in an official capacity roll. Sitting in on meetings isn't foreign policy experience, like lyin' ryan tried to assert. IF, like you say, they can bring about an Eisenhower style party, they may be able to rescue the adult-sane part of their party from the idiots in the clown car.

Personally, I think John Kerry's going to get it.
