The quick and dirty on Hunstman's views is this.
- He is by far the most experienced candidate in this race in terms of foreign policy. Nobody can match credentials with him on that.
- He's generally pro gun and has made getting concealed weapons licenses easier in Utah, but he also said he would not veto an assault weapons ban.
- He's pro life, and has said he would support a right to life amendment.
- He's expressed support for cap and trade, which I am iffy about, but honestly I don't think it's a very important issue. He implemented some measures on the state level, but I highly doubt he'll go too overboard on the national stage.
- He's pro civil unions.
- He's not a closed-borders candidate, though he has tentatively approved of better enforcement. He has supported in-state school tuition for illegal immigrant students. He also supported driving privileges for illegals.
- I've talked to several Utahans. Support for Huntsman is generally split. The ultra-conservatives think he's sellout.
