Huntsman Calls Current Polls Nonsense

Not surprisingly one of the Republicans trailing badly in the race for the GOP presidential nomination is downplaying the importance of the polls that say he's trailing badly. But it's hard to imagine former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman will gain any ground when he discounts the current opinions of likely primary voters as "absolute nonsense".

Seems like an awful lot of money to spend on an ego trip.

Huntsman is nonsense. He is in the wrong party.

Obviously he’s not going to win but he isn’t wrong about polls being nonsense.

Granted, there’s plenty of time for the polls to shift but I don’t think it’s nonsense to conclude that the polls show GOP voters want a candidate way more conservative than Governor Huntsman. I don’t see that changing between now and the primaries.

That’s funny, I’ve always thought his MSM-driven “campaign” was nonsense.

Huntsman (Obama lackey), Romney (famous for Romney-Obamacare), the Newt (living on past fame), and the other Rinos and GOP impersonators are all whining about the polls ... good ... time for them to interface with reality.

Of all the candidates running for Presidential Nominee, Huntsman is the acroterion of mediocrity.

Yeah...but people like Larry Kudlow are stroking his ego.

Huntsman was on Kudlow radio program yesterday and Larry was praising him up the kazoo for his "economic" program.

I couldn't figure out why Kudlow liked the Huntsman program so much since it was the same old bs that all politicians tout...lower the rates, cut out the breaks...blah blah blah...but keep the same old "progressive income tax system" in all its glory and same number of pages...

....for what its worth....James Pethokoukis came on later and set Kudlow straight on Huntsman...

Kudlow likes anyone who is pro growth, and he’s a bit of an insider type too. Thus being enamored of Huntsman. Glad Pethokoukis came on later and set him straight. Would loved to have seen that.

That much is obvious with or without a poll.

He should change his name to Joe Blow because he has about as much a chance as Joe Sixpack of being elected.

Its a damned rare day I encounter a word I don't know. So I was thrilled to discover and look up "acroterion." Imagine my surprise when I encountered this definition:

en.mimi.hu/architecture/acroterion.htmlAcroterion - Definition WordIQ.com - Dictionary, Encyclopedia ... An acroterion or acroterium is an ornament placed on a plinth or acroter at the apex of the pediment.

That certrainly cleared it up for me. Thanks. I think.

If Huntsman is polling more than 0.1%, then I agree with him.

“Polls are nonsense” or “Poles are for strippers and cross country skiers” ... whose answer will be remembered?
