Another GOP candidate has bit the dust... It's not a surprise but Jon Huntsman has reportedly dropped out of the GOP race with expected miserable support in the upcoming South Carolina primary. Miserable like 1%...
Huntsman is expected to support Mitt Romney for the GOP presidential nod. That is also no surprise... I have long thought that Mitt Romney is the GOP's best shot at giving President Obama a run for his money in the 2012 election. The others are way to far to the right to get enough support to win a general election (thankfully).
The fact that the GOP has tried to find somebody - anybody that would be better than Mitt Romney shows what they really think of him. There is a real internal struggle (or as Bill Maher said, a civil war) within the GOP right now; definitely something to watch. It will be very interesting to see if Romney, who I saw several GOP supporters call an empty suit or just "the mormon" can actually get the people out to support him. I'm not talking about him winning the primary, I'm talking about the actual GOP voter count. They really don't like him...
