Jon Huntsman for Secretary of State

No... Really... Stick with me...

I was listening to NPR this evening, and Mark McKinnon suggested that the reason that the GOP lost on Tuesday was because they did not nominate someone like Jon Huntsman. 

This got me thinking... Jon Huntsman... he'd be an awesome Secretary of State.

If Hillary Clinton really does intend to retire, then why not nominate someone who has executive experience as a former governor who has a great relationship with China?  The political cynic in me would say that it's a smart move for Obama to nominate a Republican in order to show that he's bipartisan, but no, it's just smart to nominate a rather capable person to office, regardless of their political party.
