Yeah Huntsman’s not going anywhere. I feel mixed about the guy. I like that he’s not a fanatic about gay marriage but his comments about the EPA the other night made me cringe.

I feel similarly ambivalent about Huntsman, and that’s another similarity he has with RR. I don’t think Raygun was a great president or even above average, but he was in the right place at the right time and didn’t fuck things up and start a nuclear war. The only reason he’s reached such a mythical status in today’s GOP is because he’s the only president of the 20th century who could be legitimately called conservative that wasn’t an abject failure.
