re: #242 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

It’s still early. I’ve heard rumors that Rudy’s contemplating another run, along with Romney. Paul’s a definite run, considering the supposed power that his branch of the Tea Party has got going, but you can could McCain out. Another rumor going around is that Jon Huntsman will seek the nomination, with the few pundits I’ve heard talking about him saying he has a strong chance, but is going to have an interesting time explaining why he was willing to work for Obama before he sought to replace the guy.

Well the other interesting thing about Jon Huntsman is how does he position himself on social issues. He had a reputation as a social moderate as governor of Utah and quite frankly because I like Jon and would love to see him emerge as a messager of reason in the Republican Party, I’d hate to see him do what Romney did and that’s go full so-con to get votes. I’m on record on saying that I have and will support more moderately minded especially on social issues Republicans. It’s why I respected John Warner here for so long since it was awesome to see a 80 year old vet of WWII and Korea tell Peter Pace that he disagreed with Pace’s view that homosexuality was immoral. Plus he was willing to buck the Republican party when he felt it necessary. He was about representing our srate instead of his party and I appreciated that.
