Best of all, he's stongly rumored to have presidential aspirations and recently came out if favor of gay/lesbian/younameit bills (in the Utah Legislature) in an effort to distance himself from "Mitt Romney's mormonism". He loves spending and has succeeded on foisting plenty of government programs on us (such as all-day kindergarten aka taxpayer funded day care).
He also supported McCain in the primaries.
Fortunately, the "gay" bills were defeated (this year) and I sincerely hope 'Smilin' Jon Jr. is, deservedly, shown the exit if/when he runs for the presidency.
Distance himself ? Huntsman is a CLONE of Slick Willard.
