The difference being that Huntsman has a record of actually acting in accordance with that statement, not just paying it lip service.

Not that the extreme and unique pressures on a Presidential candidate can't change that. And really, he's never going to win the nomination by saying 'I respect Obama', so I'm sure if he does become the nominee he'll have spent all that good will by the time it gets to that point. But, individual issues aside, if he doesn't sell out on the principles he's made it this far with, I'd be happy to see him run. Might even throw an open primary vote his way.
