New Hampshire’s Keene Sentinel endorsed Jon Huntsman on Sunday, calling on Republicans and independents to support the candidate. They praised his experience as ambassador to China, and called him both conservative and flexible on domestic policy issues:
His principal qualifying distinctions include a boldness in economic policy that belies his temperate personal demeanor and a belief that the country’s divisions cannot be closed by bulldozers moving in only one direction. His appeal is enhanced by hands-on experience in international affairs, principally involving China, that’s entirely lacking in every other Republican whose name will be on the presidential primary ballot on Jan. 10.
