Ugh. Huntsman Part II. Jeb would be preferable.
Huntsman comes off elitist and condescending. Kasich connects with a wide array of voters, and often frames his actions in a religious context ("Expanding Medicaid is the Christian thing to do, even if I support the repeal of Obamacare and replacement with the PCA") without being overly-religious (think GWB and Huckabee) about it.
^^
Exactly. Kasich, wherever he departs from conservative orthodoxy, tends to frame his arguments to argue that he actually has the conservative point of view in the argument. Kasich is a far cry from Huntsman who seemingly ran to make fun of Republicans and plug his future 'No Labels' group before it existed. Kasich will not attempt to win over the GOP electorate by insulting us.
So Scott Walker without the stain of being Scott Walker?
