JON HUNTSMAN: Why did you quit?

Jon Huntsman, why did you leave?

With the South Carolina primary this week, Jon Huntsman decides to quit the race and throw his support to Romney, maybe hoping for a vice-presidential offer.

Yes, he came in third in New Hampshire but that was only because the voters there were sending a message to the rest of the country by voting for Ron Paul and his strict economic agenda; they would never have voted for Paul in the general election! Why did you not see this?

True, South Carolina would have given their votes to Romney and maybe a religious candidate like Santorum or Perry but hey, the biggest newspaper in S. Carolina endorsed you, Jon Huntsman and so did many other leading newspapers because they see you as the only viable candidate…so why did you quit?

I can understand the lack of donations and therefore funds to run the campaign but could you just hunker down and dot spend as much as hopeless states like S. Carolina and concentrated on states that you would have a good chance of winning in?

This is very disheartening to me because I truly believe he is the best man to oppose Obama. Romney maybe a good and smart man but people don’t like him and he will lose!
