Jon Huntsman's moves trouble Utah

Orlando, Florida is nearly 2,000 miles away from Salt Lake City as the crow flies, about as far as you can get from Jon Huntsman’s old office in the Utah statehouse without dropping off the continental United States entirely.

Huntsman’s recent decision to headquarter his campaign in Florida makes sense for logistical and political reasons but the location—and some recent remarks about his faith — have combined to produce a sharp reaction from the Mormon Establishment, solidifying the impression for many of the former governor’s constituents that he plans to keep his distance in more ways than one.

“Is Huntsman distancing himself from LDS faith?” the Salt Lake Tribune asked on May 9, noting that he’d attended a nondenominational megachurch in Charleston, S.C. that weekend.

But it really exploded after a Time Magazine interview where Huntsman appeared to go wobbly at a key moment. Asked point blank whether he was still a Mormon at all, Huntsman sounded as if he was dodging. “That’s tough to define,” he said.

Exclusive - Jon Huntsman on Being Obama's Ambassador to China: I'd Serve Again

The Republican who President Obama appointed as his Ambassador to China – and who could be the 2012 challenger Democrats fear most – has no regrets about accepting a post in a Democratic administration. In fact, he said he wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.

“I'd do it again. Of course. I've always been trained and I hope to train my own family that when your country needs you…if there is the prospect that you can get in there and bring about change in a way that helps your country through public service, I'm there,” Jon Huntsman told me in an exclusive interview.

Questions about Afghanistan, energy policy, and relations with China followed. As he later worked the room, he faced more questions, including what his views are on the House budget advanced by Wisconsin Republican Paul Ryan, who proposed sweeping changes to Medicare.

"The way we do it in America, we put ideas on the table, we discuss them," he said. " There is a lot that is part of the Ryan plan that needs to be considered."

When pressed, he didn't endorse Ryan's proposal to turn Medicare into a voucher system, but said "that is something like (what) we set up in Utah, where you've got a multiplicity of insurance options." Turning Medicaid into block grants for states "is a good thing, because right now Medicaid is blowing a hole in budgets throughout the United States."

Not a lot for thugs to love here. One clown after another, after another, after another...
