If the Democrats somehow nominated Dan Lipinski, Bart Stupak, or someone of the sort and the Republicans nominated a nut, Rand Paul, or John Huntsman, I'd probably vote for the Dem.

Why are Rand Paul and John Huntsman in the same category?
Foreign policy? :confusedshrug:

Isn't Huntsman a Neoconservative?  Most moderate Republicans are very hawkish.

Quite the opposite actually, he basically mimicked Ron Paul on foreign policy. He's not a moderate either (he believes in the flat tax!), just a non-fundamentalist, non-neoconservative Republican who believes in climate change. That's not a moderate.

I wouldn't say he mimicked Ron Paul (who touted a borderline isolationist policy) but rather a more Obama-like foreign policy relative to the rest of the crowd, which was predominately neoconservative.

He's conservative on economic issues such as taxes (obviously, as he's a Republican, not a Democrat), but he's not only a believer in climate change, but also in gay marriage, supports medical marijuana, supported the Dream act, supports infrastructure spending, supported the stimulus. To me, sounds pretty moderate.
