It comes as no surprise that Jon Huntsman has suspended his campaign for presidency.  After garnering two whole delegates in NH, reviewing the polls in SC and beyond, he wisely opted to pull the plug.   Those of us out in the real world (i.e. outside the Beltway) saw this guy as a pretender early on.

Pretender isn’t exactly the right word…placeholder or tool might be more appropriate.  Why?  Numerous reasons.  As a former member of President Obama’s diplomatic core to our largest trading partner, you wonder where Huntsman’s loyalties lie.  He was promoted heavily by the inside the Beltway types, which reeks of ‘inside job – inside promotion’.  He was indistinguishable from Mitt Romney, period.  It also makes you wonder how NH voters could choose Huntsman – unless it was an anti-Romney moderate vote.  Doubtful though, given that  51% of his voters are satisfied with Obama.    My gut says it is the start of anti-Romney, designed in ‘DChicago’ movement…which I’m probably way early on.  Rush Limbaugh mentioned Geraldo heralding the imminent demise of Huntsman Sunday evening.  You would only have to hear Geraldo today on his WABC radio program to understand where this was all put together.   I can almost hear the trap snapping shut as voters are herded in the direction of Romney…and then…wait for it…the OWS movement hits it’s stride in an anti-corporatist, anti-capitalist frenzy later this year.

Huntsman was put in to pull the race to the left, directing people and then releasing delegates to the establishment Romney.  All the faux conservative pundits will now spew their ‘well, now it is all Romney’  and ‘coalesce behind Romney’ talking points over the next five days leading up to the SC vote.  I hope South Carolinian’s realize they are being played for fools by forces far larger than just the GOP establishment.  Take a look at the delegate count and get behind the guy who is the true anti-establishment candidate, Rick Santorum.
