Judgement is the primary concern to me. I really have trouble with politicians who aren't grounded in reality. It makes me wonder what sort of decisions they will make and who they will pander to. I'm sorry, but a doctor.... that doesn't believe in evolution? How the f*** does he think disease works? This really bothers me. This shows someone who is fundamentally divorced from reality in favor of ideology.

While there's plenty about Huntsman I would disagree with and probably more that I don't even know about (because I'm not following anything closely yet)... the fact that he's a conservative that says, "Yeah, maybe a consensus of climate scientists know what the hell they are talking about," among other bits of similar wisdom make me like that he cares more about reality than pandering to a increasingly insane right. Sadly, this means that nobody know who the hell he is but everyone knows bats**t Bachmann, Perry (or governor good hair as we call him here), his doppelganger Romney... and capt. 999 who I can't help but feel is partially popular because he's the moderate Republicans' answer to having a man of color in the white house.

Sadly, if not for the other problems plaguing Cain already, I doubt he'd have a chance anyway just hearing enough people who, despite being Republicans, would "never vote for a nigger."
