… Huntsman was smart and not doing the usual scare tactics. I think he could possibly one day end up being a diplomatic version of the above mentored Hagel and make a decent SoS in a Democratic administration should a Democrat want to go that route.

I agree with you about Huntsman—I think he could be of value to the country in the future, as long as he didn’t have to pander to Republicans.

One thing I found interesting, speaking of Romney and Huntsman, is that even though I believe Huntsman and his father ended up endorsing Mitt, there was no love lost between those two families. As far back as when “Mitt rode in to save the Olympics,” Huntsman Sr. in particular was none too fond of him.

One of the first things Romney did when he got to Utah was appoint a fellow Mormon as his second in command. This did not sit well with Jon Huntsman, Sr., who said,

“We’ve got a chairman [Garff] who is active LDS, now we’ve got a present CEO who is active LDS. They claim they’re going out and really scouring the world to find the best person, so Mitt brings in one of his cronies to be the COO. Another broken promise. Because we’ve got three LDS folks who are all cronies. Cronyism at its peak. They told the world and told Salt Lake that we’re going to go out and find the most professional, the best, and to have some diversity—spiritual and ethnic. Diversity in the Olympic Games is what it’s all about. These are not the Mormon Games.”
