Jon Huntsman, a current Republican presidential candidate and former governor of Utah, is blasting fellow candidates for their extremist positions. He attacked Rick Perry for denying man-made global warming and Michele Bachmann for recently saying that if she were president gas would be under 2 dollars a gallon. His overall message was that the current contenders for president are pandering to specific groups of people and that they are not trying to find middle ground and be reasonable candidates.
This is very encouraging to see. All moderates are not dead in the Republican party after all!!!! There are still a few left, and I applaud Huntsman first for actually serving in the Obama administration as ambassador to China even though he is a Republican, and for calling out the current field for their insane views. If Obama were to lose to a Republican (which I do not want to happen) Huntsman seems like a candidate that could be trusted to run the country in a fair and efficient way.
