I think you are on the right track -- except I have become more tepid on Clark since my original enthusiasm ( with a few $ during the very early 2008 primary season). Became disenchanted after he pimped himself out on too many cable programs to suit me.

I, too, would welcome a Huntsman nomination and would expect international issues would trump any strange domestic policies he may have espoused during the weird 2012 primaries. I think he is REALLY smart, and deeply informed on the Pacific region, where the future looms.

It's a shame. I met her in 2008 and she was lovely. Barack_America Nov 2012 #1

I read about the things she said and she made mistakes quinnox Nov 2012 #10
She was reading from a script and since she was provided false talking points, its not her fault riderinthestorm Nov 2012 #14
