Confirmed: Jon Huntsman is a wanker

[pellegrino]

I love the part about how he's focusing his entire campaign on NH. That was a awesome plan, Jon. Set up shop in the original frontrunner's adopted home where he's polling at 25 points ahead of the entire field.... and do this knowing full well that there is substantively very little that's going to differentiate you in the minds of NH voters.

I'm sorry, I like Jon, he's definitely my kind of Mormon, but he's proven to be a complete dumbass in this campaign. Ask Rudy Giuliani how skipping Iowa worked out for him.

Skipping Iowa is not a bad idea. Mitt is doing it this year. McCain did it last time, and it turned out fine for him. Rudy put all his eggs in Florida, and that was too late because he also skipped NH and SC. Huntsman's plan is NH and Florida. Much better.
Huntsman's problem is just not a good candidate. He doesn't appeal to the base. He's not very distinguishable from Romney. Nobody knows who he is. And that permanent raised eyebrow makes him look aloof, or worse. He's not in Utah anymore, where everybody knows his dad's name.

But I thought he recently polled at 10% in NH. He's going nowhere if he can't raise some money, but he's not dead yet--at least I don't think.

And don't forget the kissy monkey lips:

Huntsman's got the Michael Moore endorsement:

He claims that Huntsman got a gay civil union law passed in Utah? That's a surprise to me, considering that we have a constitutional amendment that says no civil unions are allowed. Oh well, I didn't expect Moore to get his facts right.

Huntsman on the Colbert Report. Its weird to hear from him when he's had so little exposure so far.

Seriously pathetic. It must be frustrating to find out that there are actually some offices you can't buy.

Where does the blame lie for voters not knowing who Jon Huntsman is? Answer me that, Elder Huntsman.

What's up with the mustaches? I don't get it.

It is a play on the recent Herb Cain ad:

They're doing a parody of this ad:

I can't believe you guys fell for that. They want to make you think they are doing a parody of that ad, but in actuality, they were just looking for a creative way to mask the fact that the less attractive daughter actually has a real mustache.

No disrespect, but the other two, with their pencil-necks, have a bit of a bobble-head thing going on. Keep an eye out for this phenomenon -- big head relative to neck thickness and body size. It looks weird to me.
