Smart politics

I think that the presidents pick of Utah Governor Jon Huntsman as U.S Ambassador to China is very smart politically. Huntsman is a pragmatic non-ideologue governor of a very conservative state. Also an individual who has very solid international credentials and a potential 2012 Presidential candidate. Huntsman is absolutely qualified for the ambassadorship in China speaks fluent Mandarin and has been an ambassador in the two previous Bush administrations. This is a solid competent conservative that could have been a solid challenge to the President in 2012. I like Huntsman and he was steadily growing on many political lists as a potential candidate. Good move by the President and a show of bi-partisanship but also very shrewd politically.
