Huntsman is Mittens-lite.
Oh, right. Huntsman was elected governor (twice, by huge margins) of one of the 3 most conservative states in the U.S. Huntsman left office with a 90% approval rating in Utah. His economic plan reads like a conservative manifesto — all about deregulation and competitiveness from beginning to end. It could have been issued by the Club for Growth. Hard core anti-abortion, pro second amendment etc. In terms of their governing records, Jon Huntsman is more conservative than Romney ever thought of being.
