I've now read a few articles and blog posts either lauding the Utah governor as a moderate or denouncing him as same. Huntsman has signed pro-life bills, voucher bills, and tax cuts. Yes, he is open to some kind of civil union for gay couples and wants Republicans to make more of an effort on environmental issues. But if that's all it takes for a Republican politician to get an image both inside and outside the party as a "moderate" these days, that's a pretty good thing, isn't it?It's a bad thing because one can't name 3 well-known Republicans that meet those criteria. It's like saying, "All we need is a Republican who's against torture and believes in evolution!"
Good luck with that.
