 Huntsman to Endorse RomneyPosted on Jan 15, 2012
People often knock polls, but in the case of Jon Huntsman, the numbers didn’t lie. After trailing most candidates for the majority of the race, Huntsman has reportedly decided to quit the stump and endorse fellow Mormon and alleged moderate Mitt Romney. When President Obama named Huntsman to be his ambassador to China (Huntsman quit before announcing his candidacy), it was speculated that the president was shrewdly eliminating a dangerous general election opponent by absorbing him into the administration. But it seems that quality which most threatened Obama, Huntsman’s appeal to voters beyond the conservative fringe, disqualified him from winning any primaries. —PZS Update: On Monday, Huntsman made good on the rumors that he’d give Romney a boost. The BBC has more.

Romney, hiding behind his super-pac, has been running a very negative
campaign.
Then Huntsman says “This race has degenerated into an onslaught of negative and
personal attacks….the current toxic form of our political discourse does not help
our cause”.
Then Huntsman endorses Romney. Huh? But didn’t you just say….???

It’s hilarious that anyone would have thought of Huntsman as a “dangerous” election opponent. Romney looks unstoppable now that he has picked up part of the 2% of Repugs who were backing Huntsman.

“...it was speculated that the president was shrewdly eliminating a dangerous general election opponent by absorbing him into the administration”
But now it just reads like an embarrassing level of denial.
