While the fact that Huntsman eventually was forced to bail from the race is not shocking, I think conceding the field to Romney is counter to his future presidential hopes. I've always thought Huntsman was positioning himself for a run in 2016 assuming that Obama is re-elected. However, with Romney inching toward the nomination, it seems unlikely that the GOTP will nominate a mormon candidate in consecutive presidential elections. With all the zany religious fundamentalism infused in the party it just seems a little much to hope for.
Oh well. For now add Jon Huntsman to list of new Willardites and followers of Willardism.
