(Politico) — Clinton said he likes the Republican candidates who are seen as “more moderate” and who might be “formidable” opponents to Obama because they are “more connected to the real world.”

Former ambassador and Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman is “quite an impressive man,” Clinton said, adding he is “refreshingly unhidebound” and “comes across as a non-ideological conservative … practical.”
