    I can agree with Huntsman dropping out.But to endores Rommney? On the way out?Well his use of his “vote” witch is one of the most immportant right’s in the world we are enndoude with from birth till death and his use of this right in this case is just plain wrong.Even with all the juice he has behind him.And with a yay or nay abiletey. Why would he just waste that privlledge enndorsing a person who he has been attacing and who’s been attact by.This innstance show’s just how much game playing and back room wheeling and dealing.I guess it‘s just a wait and see thing that’s been going on for a while now.I guess I’ll take two “Demicratt’s“and call ”Neywt” if thing don’t change for the better by morring.

      Maybee we should call Dr.Paul to see if he has a prescription for what ail’s us.He say’s he has the cure.He say‘s He know’s what is wrong and with his treatment this country will be back on track.So Romney is not that cure.Because his kind of bisness leaves legal “US” citessen’s unemmploied.And let‘s illegal’s have a better quality of life.So let’s stop this crap and support the one to bring us out of the abiss.

    As Governor or Utah, Governor Huntsman inexplicably reformed Utah’s strict liquor laws which, ironically, was opposed by all the bars in Utah. So in face of the “small business” opposition, Governor Huntsman had the chutzpah to officially declare that the President and senior leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints SUPPORTED his reformed liquor laws. Well, embarassingly, the LDS Church had to call an official press conference to refute the Governor‘s ludicrous statement and reaffirm the Church’s opposition to the Governor’s liberal liquor law and any changes whatsoever to the current Utah state liquor laws.

    COINCIDENTALLY: It was almost immediately after Governor Huntsman got the Liquor Law passed, that he left as a job as a SITTING GOVERNOR to answer the noble President Hussein’s call to become Ambassador to China!!! He was a SITTING GOVERNOR!!! Now what would compel President Hussein to choose the Billionaire, Republican, and Mormon Governor of Utah Huntsman as his Ambassador to China? Was it the Governor’s adopted daughter? Was it the Governor’s ability to speak Chinese? Did Hussein pull his name out of a hat? Hmmm, I guess those parties in the Hamptons must be some REAL SHINDIGS to make so many otherwise intelligent people willing to sell their souls to get an invite…

    LYLEJK, Endorsements can work both ways. They can either help a candidate or they can hurt a candidate. If you like a particular person, that person’s endorsement can help another candidate. If you dislike a particular person, that person’s endorsement can be a real turn-off. Nobody likes Huntsman (obviously by his 1% in the primaries), therefore, his endorsement would only hurt another candidate. Romney didn’t look too comfortable sitting next to John McCain when McCain was endorsing him. This puts Romney in one heck of a position. Some people liked McCain and some didn’t. How does a candidate shake off someone’s endorsement without looking like a jerk?

    I’m glad to see this RINO go. He made a big mistake with his “Ching chang chong chong ergo” during the debate. That would only impress Progressives. He is only endorsing Romney because he knows his cover is blown. We know what he is, and he is hoping to drag down Romney (the one Progressives fear the most) with his endorsement. Now if only Gingrich and Perry would join him.

    There is no energy in any of these candidates’ campaigns. Somebody better light a fire with voters or it’s gonna be tougher than tough.
