Huntsman is in NH every week. It is the only state he is competing in as he is skipping IA and SC.
Last poll shows him at 7%. If he finishes third, maybe he lives for another week. I guess his strategy is that if Milt melts completely, he will continue on vs. Newt ... but even then, Newt, Cain, Paul will have 3 candidates going the distance ... so I cannot see the Huntsmen getting any traction even if he is successful.
He has run an interesting campaign in rural NH. The problem is that candidate is dull. And a “moderate-liberal” who won’t call himself a conservative.

Well, I only want him to be successful to the extent that he can pull the rug out from under Romney. Beyond that, he can crash and burn. I certainly don't want him as the nominee.
I hear his PAC is running an anti-Romney ad. I'd love to see it if you have a link. Haven't been able to find it yet.

Not strictly true that. Huntsman has, as you point out, worked New Hampshire harder than any other candidate. The numbers attending his Town Hall meetings are on the rise, his Super PAC only started airing the first pro-Huntsman ad a couple of days ago. The ad trumpets his conservatism. It’s all about his conservatism.

His positions are conservative, sans his belief in global warming, but then again his energy position negates that.
