We Still Have Huntsman To Kick Around
Huntsman has been polling so low that even some of his family members might not be supporting him. And yet he was still getting tons of media interest -- clearly their favorite Republican in the race for President -- and plenty of time during debates.
And it's paid off:
Mitt Romney has maintained his decisive lead in New Hampshire while Jon Huntsman has begun to gain traction in a must-win state for both, according to a new Suffolk University/WHDH-TV survey.
In the poll of 400 likely Republican primary voters, the former Massachusetts governor is at 41 percent — 27 points ahead of his nearest rival.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul’s in second place, with 14 percent. Huntsman has jumped to 10 percent, from 4 percent in the last Suffolk/WHDH poll in June.
Now, getting 70% of Ron Paul's vote isn't something to brag about necessarily, and he's still nowhere near Romney there, but interesting none-the-less. Particularly since this means he gets to stay in the debates for the time being.
Prepare for more bon mots tonight about Soundgarden and Mudhoney.

Romney, Paul, Huntsman. Republican's are truly the stupid party.

Meanwhile Thad McCotter can't get a word in edgewise.

Re: We Still Have Huntsman To Kick Around
Aside from his position on Cap & Trade, I don't find Huntsman all that objectionable. It says something, though, that he is far and away the favorite Republican candidate among pundits who will never vote for a Republican anyway. Kind of like John McCain in 2008.
