Day In 100 Seconds: Moderates, Mitt and MLK

Day In 100 Seconds: Moderates, Mitt and MLK

Martin Luther King Day is a time for reflection on how to achieve the great man’s dream for America. Jon Huntsman’s reflections today led him to drop out of the presidential race. After he endorsed GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney this ensured a pile-on from the field’s right about “moderates backing moderates.” Thank goodness that within all this Fox News still found the time to ask the day’s really important question.
