Even if Huntsman somehow manages to come in first or a close second in New Hampshire, it would position him among the top 2 or 3 contenders, but nothing is guaranteed. We will still have a contest and he will still be forced to contend with Newt or whoever pulls ahead in Iowa and then South Carolina.
Erickson is hilarious, BTW. I’m glad he has come around but there must be some serious projection going on here. Any sensible assessment, and it is really him that has run away from Jon’s conservative record and given the “middle finger” to this candidate while flip-flopping through all the others on numerous occasions.
For sure. Erickson came across as extremely petty. He admitted he loved Huntsman’s platform and thought he had an admirable record, but he just didn’t like John Weaver, and didn’t like Huntsman’s “tone” in debates. To be sure, Huntsman’s strategy for this primary has been awfully questionable, but Erickson was childish in his dismissals of Huntsman initially.
