I certainly didn't agree with Jon Huntsman's politics, but he did strike me as the most desirable of any of the candidates running for the Republican nomination. He was the only one who seemed even remotely rational, and I admired his refusal to go along with the anti-intellectualism and opposition to science that plagues much of his party. He brought a certain level of dignity to what has resembled Celebrity Apprentice far too closely. Now that Huntsman is out of the race, the only hope that the Republican candidate might be something other than genuinely crazy (or whatever Mittens is) has passed.
