1. NYT LINK: Huntsman Says He’s Quitting G.O.P. Race

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Jon M. Huntsman Jr. informed his advisers on Sunday that he intends to drop out of the Republican presidential race, ending his candidacy a week before he had hoped to revive his campaign in the South Carolina primary.

Mr. Huntsman, who had struggled to live up to the soaring expectations of his candidacy, made plans to make an announcement as early as Monday. He had been set to participate in an evening debate in Myrtle Beach.

Matt David, campaign manager to Mr. Huntsman, confirmed the decision in an interview Sunday evening. “The governor and his family, at this point in the race, decided it was time for Republicans to rally around a candidate who could beat Barack Obama and turn around the economy,” Mr. David said. “That candidate is Gov. Mitt Romney.”

A third-place finish in the New Hampshire primary last week failed to jump start Mr. Huntsman’s flagging candidacy, aides said, and his campaign limped into South Carolina with little money. Mr. Huntsman has spent days pondering his future in the race, but aides said that he concluded he was unlikely to topple Mitt Romney or match the momentum of his Republican rivals in the conservative Southern primary.

I couldn't have said it better... :rofl: :banghead:

I liked what Chris Matthews said on the subject, said he got it from his daughter. She said this is like getting the least drunk guy drive... :thumbsup: x(

4. I don't get that analogy. Seems to me like the least drunk guy disqualified himself.

6. So they'll pick the next least drunk guy.

And I don't think that'll be Newt or Dr. Paul... :eyes: :beer:

and we don't care."


Well, that'll teach a relatively sane Republican to run.

Even a PAC funded by his billionaire Daddy couldn't help him enough.

By all that's Citizens United, youdda thunk he would have been the guy with only two hundred million, give or take.

7. I HAVE to start proofreading. That should have been

By all that's Citizens United, youdda thunk he {Huntsman} would have beat the guy with only two hundred million, give or take {Romney}.

Made no sense at all the way I originally posted it. Sorry.
