Comment of the day re: Huntsman suspending campaign

thischarmingsir:

Huntsman is an elitist. And that’s why I like him. Republicans need a leader who makes them eat their vegetables. A leader who doesn’t pander to the lowest common denominator, as all the others have been doing. A leader who finally says, “You know what? We’re the party of Lincoln. Let’s fucking grow up here.”

But no. He drops out and he endorses Romney. That’s politics for you.

So true. The pundit class has been quick to put the dagger in him, but the fact of the matter is, he was trying to do something slightly different — play serious in a GOP race full of wacky hijinks — and he didn’t get a lot of respect for it. That’s a bummer. Jennifer Rubin was right last night, but she was right in a way that reflected how wrong everything around Huntsman is, not Huntsman himself.
