Becoming ambassador to China doesn’t exactly take him out of the presidential game. (H.W. Bush)

This is the guy the Obama crowd was worried about as a possible GOP Prez candidate in 2012. They got him out of the way real quick!

The Lieutenant Governor, Gary Herbert, who will succeed, is described as Huntsman’s political opposite, a traditional Utah conservative

Jon Huntsman is one of the GOP “modernizers” who is constantly lecturing the party that we have to “moderate” and shift to the center. In my opinion, good riddence. Utah can find a more principled conservative to serve as governor.

So when China quits buying our Treasuries this is the guy who will be blamed.

Axelrod is a magnificent bastard for their side.

Utah will be better off. China seems like the perfect place to send him. Cuba would be good, as well.
