I love the Huntsman 'I am no longer the margin of error candidate'. I almost posted it because it talks about Ron being having 14% behind Romney in NH, with Huntsman at 10%. But then it quotes Huntsman as saying he was 'number two' in NH. Personally, I think the inability to count to two should be a disqualifying factor, particularly in such economically troubled times as these.
