Jon Huntsman: The Vogue candidate

This Vogue profile unwittingly proves why Jon Huntsman fails to gain traction with Republican primary voters. Some highlights below:

“With his tanned face and salt-and-pepper hair, he looks so good in checked shirts and denim jackets that The Wall Street Journal recently compared the launch of his campaign to a Ralph Lauren product rollout.”

“This telegenic, multicultural family may be the candidate’s biggest asset as he tries to capture his party’s attention.”

“Huntsman is slender, athletic, and stylish, with a winning smile. Huntsman is 51, Obama is 50, and both have an unusual reserve, a cool unflappability.”

“Jon Huntsman is something more like a Reform Jew, who honors the spirit rather than the letter of his faith.”
