PERFECT CANDIDATE

The best interviewer in my opinion is Charlie Rose and I am a slave to his program, and what is more if he has something/someone really interesting - I watch it twice, once on Public Broadcasting and once on Bloomberg.

Yesterday the tape of his Tuesday interview with Jon Huntsman was part of the broadcast - and it wasn't in connection with Huntsman's previous campaign, he was a guest because of his position as our ambassador to China and it was to discuss the future president of China who is now visiting here, Vice President Xi Jinping I think is the gentleman's name. The information and delivery of knowledge by Huntsman was impressive. It carried the impact of inside knowledge, covered also how many times he had met with the China vice-president, under what circumstances he knew him and overall, insights that I don't believe anyone else could have offered.

It is just so puzzling when the Republicans have an ex-candidate of this caliber, why he was not supported, why weren't there millionaires besides his father, willing to bankroll his campaign?

The only answer is that he is not extreme enough to satisfy the appetites of the power groups that are currently steering the R party into oblivion and a well deserved defeat.
