I support limited military intervention in Libya, but after reading about his latest foreign policy pronouncements about withdrawing from Afghanistan, our military presence in certain corners of the world, and re-evaluating who our friends and who our enemies are, I must say that I support him even more strongly now.   

I'm beginning to see the method to his madness -- wait for the debate, see where the chips start to fall, differentiate.  Nothing overly inconsistent with his record, but size up the field and find where his opportunities lie.

If he's for coming home from AfPak and reducing our worldwide military presence, he has firmed up my support.

I think Obama was a Huntsman plant, actually.

I didn't know about his positions on the border fence and capital punishment. If true, that makes me support him even more strongly.

Seems to be the rule for me -- if "true conservatives" are against a Republican, it's usually a clue that they're my ideal candidate.

Corrolary: Explains why they tolerate Romney.  I hate that guy.

Haven't seen the video (damned video blocking at work) but I'll say this:

Same people did Demon Sheep.  Fiorina won the nomination handily.

It has been the Huntsman campaign's intent all along to first raise profile, and second to worry about being taken seriously.  Frankly, with Huntsman's resume, I think it's the right move -- better to flame out spectularly than to languish in obscurity.

Here's hoping that his next move is to debate a foaming-at-the-mouth social conservative...in Chinese.

He likes progressive rock, not metal. Besides, what if some progressive agree with you on everything but loves metal music?

Huntsman like Progressive rock? That'd be the first thing I like about his candidacy if I'm right and you're talking about Huntsman.

He's a huge Dream Theater fan.
