Thomas Burr, Washington correspondent for The Salt Lake Tribune:

You know, he said the last time I interviewed him—he talked about how he wants to run a very, you know, civil campaign. He did talk [Tuesday] about the president a little bit, but not in any way that was negative towards him. In fact, he said he respected the president, which is not something you really expect to hear at a Republican announcing.

That‘s very Jon Huntsman.

When he ran his last two campaigns in Utah, in fact, I interviewed the Democratic candidate, he called Huntsman a gentleman.

The first time around in 2004, Scott Matheson was the Democratic candidate. When Huntsman won, Scott Matheson walked a block over to the GOP headquarters, walked in and hugged Huntsman and congratulated him.

This is Jon Huntsman.



Rachel Maddow:

Wow.
