Excitement? Like a stale piece of Wonder Bread with the crust cut off.

U.S. News and World Report is a joke.

How come I never heard of this dude? Does he have any name recognition? Lots and lots of voters vote based on name recognition since they don’t know where any one stands on issues.

The party needs to be more intellectually rigorous, and to compete for the votes of the young, the elites and minorities, he said in an interview with POLITICO. To do so, the GOP needs to tack toward the middle on environment, gay rights and immigration. And, yes, Ronald Reagan is to be admired – but as much for his oft-overlooked pragmatism as for his conservative principles.

“We need to pull up the stakes of the tent and draw them out a little bit,” he told POLITICO, while in town for the National Governors Associaton meeting.

Huntsman’s model comes not from the Reagan and Gingrich revolutions, but instead resembles a Republican brand of Clintonism: practical solutions, softened rhetorical edges aimed to appeal to the center and an overall modernization of a party badly in need of a new image.

Through the simple act of resigning as the United States Ambassador to China, John Huntsman, Jr., has injected considerable excitement into the 2012

Maybe for a small percentage of the 500 people outside of Utah who've ever heard of him.

Maybe certain folks have given up on Romney and decided they needed a different lying RINO to back.
