Death of a Campaign

Jon Huntsman was never likely to win the Republican nomination anyway but this Tweet suggests he’s decided to say “Sod it, let’s just have some fun.” These views are fine inside the Beltway and in Foggy Bottom but they butter few parsnips out in the country. Here again, the suspicion lurks that Huntsman 2012 is really a reconnaisance mission for Hntsman 2016. At present, mind you, that seems a long-shot too.

Yeah, that’s crazy talk. But fun!
