'The one to watch'
Washington Post political blogger Chris Cillizza, finds great significance in Gov. Jon Huntsman's huddle this week with John Weaver, "long known as the political consigliere to Sen.John McCain."
Huntsman is the one to watch.
Earlier David Plouffe, Obama's campaign manager, said that of all the potential Republican candidates, only Huntsman makes him a "wee bit queasy."

Plouffe expanded on the statement to Cillizza:
It's just that he is one of the few GOPers out there who seem to realize you can't thrive and win elections appealing to the 25 percent of people who still think Bush was a good president," said Plouffe. "In DC, they seem to have no concern about the middle of the electorate. At least he appears to.

Huntsman has officially "left the building" as far as looking out for Utah's interests. He's in it now totally for the national spotlight. Good luck...and good riddance.
