The son has benefitted a great deal from the reputation of the father. Mr. Huntsman Sr. is truly a revered figure in Utah and is as good as advertised. If Jr. entered the 2012 race, he’d be the biggest RINO right along with Romney. Yes, this is a “good government” state. But it was before he got into office, and it continues to be since he’s been gone. That is more a reflection of this state, which does not tolerate corruption and money wasting.
Huntsman makes Bob Bennett look like Ronald Reagan, and we just kicked Bennett out of office. And Hatch is looking over his shoulder.
I play lots of senior softball now and the talk of all the guys I play with is the Huntsman Senior Games Softball tournament held each fall out in St. George.....Evidently there is no finer tournament in the entire country. Hospitality is wonderful, field conditions are impeccable, etc, etc......
Some of the guys I know have been flying out there for the tournament from here in Michigan for many years.
