I can certainly see reporters doing the same to Huntsman, if he sticks around the race long enough to be a worthy target. (I'm doubtful.) But for now I do think those qualities make Huntsman a more attractive subject to feature writers than, say, Pawlenty, who judging by his campaign videos seems to live in an irony-free zone.Greg Marxhttp://www.cjr.orgnoreply@blogger.com
