The Republican party has now shifted so far to the right in their asymptote-chasing that Huntsman looks like a bomb-throwing, pot-smoking, baby-stealing liberal. The fact that a radical like Grover Norquist could hold sway over the party that created the EPA says a lot. If Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln or Richard Nixon were to run today, they couldn't even secure their party's nomination.
I've got a square-jawed, smart, photogenic friend from San Diego. He's got a future in politics. I'm toying with the idea of running him as a Republican simply because there aren't any non-batshit ones and I think it'd be fun to push the whole thing around the compass once and start coming at liberal/green from the right. This whole "social conservative" thing only dates back to Reagan and it's fuckin' buried the country.
