Huntsman Campaign Launch Begins Day with Misspelling of His Own Name
ABC News ^ | 6/21/2011 | Sarah Kunin

Posted on 06/21/2011 4:15:08 PM PDT by Qbert

Every detail of Jon Huntsman’s long-awaited campaign launch was meticulously planned, except of course for one minor detail: the misspelling of the candidate’s name.

Members of the media were handed a press pass that read “John Huntsman for President"  -- adding an unnecessary H in the candidate's first name.

I'm sure the Establishment will be all over him for this gaffe, just like they would if it happened to Palin... (/sarc)

This doesn’t matter a bit. His campaign imploded when he said that he believes in human induced global warming and endorsed cap and trade, but not now.

Roadkill.

Actually they should combine campaign staffers to save on money.

National politics is a blood sport without the blood. Huntsman enters the arena wanting to be civil and play nice. This isn't patty-cake, Pal. Buh-bye.

He could just as easily have spelled his name “lhiberal”.

I think Huntsman was a big supporter of the individual mandate, too.

Too close to Zer0
///
i was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on that.
i don’t know much about him, and i wanted to be fair.
but i just listened to his NJ speech on C-Span.
...i simply cannot do it justice. i encourage people to listen to it themselves... mind-numbing.
(the engine noises in the background are more interesting...)

and he wants to be civil, and praises Barack as a patriotic American? just like that townhall meeting in 2008, when that old lady told McCain, that Obama was a Marxist...
and McCain DEFENDED Obama...

i’ll stay home before i vote for Huntsman or Romney, and no, it’s not because of their religion.

Right now palin bachmann seems best to me. More testosterone and balls than the rest of the gop combined.

I am sure I’m not the only one here who heard Rush’s comparison of Huntsman and Reagan today.

Huntsman saying he wouldn’t critisize Hussein...and saying that Reagan was not critical of Carter.

Then Rush playing the famous Reagan statement made at the same location Huntsman was at today as he tried to compare himself to Reagan.

Ronaldus Magnus : “A recession is when your neighbor loses his job, a depression is when you have lost your job and a recovery is when Carter loses his job.” (from memory, but that’s the jist of it).

Today's "Rush in a Hurry" has a terrific link to Reagan's September 1, 1980 Presidential campaign launch:
