Just today, Huntsman announced he was quitting the race for the Republican nomination after getting third in New Hampshire and running out of funds. Huntsman hoped to get more votes from Independent voters to at least secure second and be considered as an alternative to Romney, but his low placing on the polls have really affected his popularity in towns. For example he just gave up in Iowa and left early..
Huntsman main agenda was to 1) get rid of President Obama and 2) to create a bold conservation presidency, similar to the Reagan administration. This views line up almost exactly with Romney, who Huntsman now endorses. In my opinion I think the race is over and Romney is the Republican Nominee. I'm not thrilled, but it could be worse... right? It could be Michelle Bachmann or Herman Cain - Oh god..
Do you think that if Huntsman had had sufficient funds to continue running, he would have had a chance of receiving the nomination??

Another G.O.P candidate that has dropped out is fortunately Michelle Bachmann. She, after a oh so close race in Iowa.... not .... she got 6th place. This 6th place obviously discouraged herself and her advisers enough that she quit. The real question is why weren't her advisers discouraged before.... ???
Here's a youtube video of Bachmann: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0povtLK4vS8
The cute little boy says "My mommy is gay and doesn't need any fixing" and then Bachmann prompty says, "Bye bye".
What do you think Bachmann's advisers were thinking when they helped Bachmann running for the Republication nomination? This is a serious question.
I think they are just as jaded and stupid as she is. There are enough people still bigoted and blinded with religion. Also, I believe Huntsman could have been a strong contender with sufficient funds. He had opinions that people on both sides of the aisle could get behind. It is a shame on of the more educated candidates is leaving the race.
ReplyDeleteThat's their job, and they most likely follow her ideology. Although many of us may not agree with the things that she believes or has to say, that doesn't make her opinion any less valuable. She as an American has the right to have her own beliefs and also to run for office. Yes, she may not have had a great chance in this election, but she was exercising her rights and she gained some popularity among people in the United States so if she were to run again, she's a familiar face.
ReplyDeleteI admire that peckerhead Heath for his views like mrs G said me and him believe to our very bones in our values just on opposite sides. She did pretty good at first but she wasnt strong enough later on to continue its kinda like a pickup truck you fix up and drive it may run good at first but it will break later on down the road. I also agree with John that she has a right to run for office i mean isnt that what makes us Americans the right to run for office?
