Huntsman's departure from the race is a viscerally painful moment in American politics. He was the last connection to the Jack Kemp brand of open-minded, optimistic, rational conservatism. Were the term not so obviously tainted, I'd call it "compassionate conservatism."
In what was his most memorable campaign moment, Huntsman decided to go after Romney's escalating China bashing with a blithe "他不太了解這個情形." Romney's poll numbers shot up and Huntsman finished a distant fourth.
