I like Jon Huntsman and have said so for months. No, I am not a supporter. Yes, I have every intention of backing the current President for reelection. That's not the point. Huntsman has generally struck me as smart and principled. After he received a
grand total of 69 votes in the recent GOP Iowa Straw Poll, I expected his campaign to wind down and likely be over in a matter of weeks. Then something happened.
Following a particularly pandering
pronouncement from Gov. Rick Perry, Huntsman
tweeted this:
"To be clear. I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy."
Huntsman has suddenly recaptured everyone's attention. It is now
news when a GOP politician running for the Presidency declares that he believes in science.
