What should be most troubling to the Huntsman campaign is how he stacks up to other candidates in New Hampshire. The $1,000 he's raised is the same amount raised by Thad McCotter, who dropped out of the race last month. And it's $650 less than Newt Gingrich, who has shown very little in the way of a New Hampshire campaign operation.
Mitt Romney, the front-runner here, has raised $216,791 since January, while Ron Paul has raised $82,493. Rick Perry, who only entered the race in August, has already raised $33,533 here, and Tim Pawlenty, who is no longer in the race, raised $21,635. Herman Cain, who topped a recent national poll, has raised $18,287.
Still, Scala said, "you're comparing him to Romney. That's someone with years and years of experience and networking, versus just a few months."
But even Gary Johnson, who has yet to register much support in the New Hampshire polls, raised 10 times as much as Huntsman ($10,500). And Michele Bachmann, who was absent from the state for a three month stretch this summer, has raised $10,485. Rick Santorum has raised $8,225.
