He's a smarmy republican asshole and no brighter than thousands of other people in government.

He's just brighter than a bunch of RW stooges.

he WANTED a mandate but was overruled. He also changed his position on climate change, just recently claiming there isn't enough evidence that it's man-made to spend money on it.

but that's no reason to praise him and wish he'd join the Dem. party. He's a "consistent conservative." He's for Paul Ryan's plan. He's anti-choice. He's way to the right of even Lieberman.

8. I have a suspicion that this is only our introduction to Huntsman.

He isn't being aggressively marketed because he isn't meant to win the nomination this time, neither do the Republicans believe that they will win the Executive Office this time. I think we will see Huntsman again in 2016, more focused and with more Republican gravitas. He is worth watching because this is his debut, not his denouement.
