Jon Huntsman Unveils Education Reform Plan, New Hampshire Too Close to Call

Not that anything else the Jon Huntsman campaign has done up into this point has made sense, but apparently he chose the day before the New Hampshire primaries – a “do or die” primary for him to see if he’s even going to make it out of the state – to unveil a new education reform plan.

Much like his economic and financial reform plans, it’s bold and full of everything conservative would want. It kind of makes you wonder why he wouldn’t have been talking aboot it all last year BEFORE people started voting. He may have gained traction in the polls and New Hampshire might actually be too close to call (I know, you’re shocked my headline was misleading).

Some bulletpoints of note:

Chris Christie to Heckler: SUCK IT!

Why couldn’t you be running for President, Big Man?

King of Bain, “When Mitt Romney Came To Town” [Trailer]

I’m not unbiased in the matter, and it makes me uncomfortable when the right attacks the right with class warfare. That said, Romney had no problem  attacking from the left this cycle  and it is a damn good trailer…

Mitt Romney Supporters are Worse than Ron Paul Supporters (or, “This is not about picking someone who shares your beliefs and principles”)

I was at a fundraiser last night and didn’t watch last night’s debate, but from everything I read none of the candidates, during what would be their second to last chance to take a shot at Mitt Romney, took a shot or tried to debate him on anything. Romney wins. Cue the smug Mittbots.

There’s hasn’t been a quote that has better summed up Romney’s base of support then from one of his surrogates yesterday, “It’s not even about picking someone with your own beliefs and principles.” Say what you will about Ron Paul supporters, but they at least have specific domestic and foreign policy beliefs that they advocate for. Romney supporters? All they tell you is that “he can win” without any evidence that can back it up.

Marc Cendella: An “Anti-Tax Entrepreneur” for a Better New York

“[Cendella]is out there working hard and meeting with a lot of people…very, very impressive young man.” – Manhattan G.O.P. chairman Dan Isaacs

Unlike most of the other rumoured NY Senate candidates I left myself get excited by (::cough::dansenor::cough::), Mark Cendella seems more serious than the rest and while a definitive announcement hasn’t been made yet, he’s hired the guy who led Bob Turner to victory, and has been making the rounds talking to GOP heads and even grabbed some time with journalist Fed Dicker at the recent State of the State.

Cendella, who supported Ron Paul in ’08 and sits on the board of the club for growth, plans a jumping starting his own campaign with his own millions (a necessity if you’re running state wide in New York). He plans on drawing from his background as a young entrepreneur and job creator as the cornerstone of his campaign…

Can Jon Huntsman Win? It’ll Take a Miracle

I’ve yet to find a single candidate in past primaries who has gone “all-in” in a state and had it work out for them. Jon Huntsman, his supporters, and those of us NotRomney’s who are hoping to derail Mitt before South Carolina are hoping for miracle.

He’s 2nd in most of the new polls (or statistically tied for second, I don’t count Ron Paul) and has two debates to wow a NH elecorate who is know for surprises. You can ask Hillary Clinton aboot that. I guess stranger things have happened. For now, here’s the commercial he’s airing in New Hampshire right now…
