Republican Hunt

John Davis, late of NCFREE has an interesting take (one I like, obviously) on Jim Hunt in his recent report.
 
Davis says the Republican Party in North Carolina has failed to produce a political leader as skilled as Hunt. He identifies Hunt’s key strengths as pragmatism and persuasiveness.
 
Davis recounts his meeting with Hunt in 1985, when the just-out-of-office former governor went on and on and education reform:
 
“A half-hour later, the conversation had not wavered from the topic of education reform.  That’s when the thought occurred to me, ‘Damn, he really believes this stuff!’”
