Romney is smarter than a lot of Democrats want to give him credit for. Huntsman put the bad mouth on Romney and now he is being forced to eat his words.

What goes around comes around Rifleman. You say Huntsman put the bad mouth on Romney? What about your dear outsider and his working for the Obama administration slander? The man wasn't working as a ambassador for Obama I believe it was for the United States, ever heard of the country or working together on anything for the good of all? You pro-Romney people are something to behold as is your party. ME, me, me huh?

You got that right! To quote Obama, come November the Democrats can come for the ride but they're gonna have to sit in back. (Actual Obama quote from Oct. 25, 2010 was "They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back".

We need a new bus driver and it is starting to look like Romney may be it.

Mitt was a no-show for a good reason, Huntsman's support means very little if anything to the Romney camp. The last CNN pole I saw had Huntsman's nat'l support at ..... drum role, please .... 4%. Romney's so far ahead to give Hunstsman's support any attention.

"Mitt a no-show"...Since when is it a requirement that endorsees show up at every drop-out speech?? What a weird headline. Did McCain go to Mitt's speech 4 years ago? These guys are busy campaigning and every minute counts. Stop putting strange headlines out and focus on the ISSUES.

Indeed, why should Mitt waste his time on showing up for a small nod to his camp? Isn't he busy with other issues? Like his hair? Just kidding! Go Mitt, wherever your dad was born, whatever your real name is and whatever they throw at you these next few months.

It is all blown out of proportion by the all knowing media and pundits ---- their differences are not that big. You show me one canditate that doesn't have some differences.The real key is to not harbor any animosity because of those differences. Go forward forgive and forget.

Yes, quite a bit of negativity. And this is GOP on GOP.

Wait until it becomes GOP vs DEM.

The citizens united ruling will even further degrade the process.

Remember that ruling? The one that the GOP was solidly in favor of?

The one that brings unlimited, un accounted for money into the election process and creates more political favors owed.

But, Obama will have lots of superpac money also. And the right will complain when it is used against them.

We are going to become even more politically divided as a country. Never a good thing.

I find it interesting that anything Romney does, or in this case, does not do, is spun to be a negative on his tactics. Since when does one candidate, especially the leading on, need to follow his competition around attending their agendae. Romney has his own agenda. Only the media has time to find fault with everything they come across.

Mitt a no show???

Were they talking about creating jobs again?

Were they talking about doing away with big government?

Were they talking about a real deficit reduction program?

Were they talking about reining in out of control military spending?

Were they talking about improving national health?

Were they speaking about cutting overseas investment?

These are just a few of the areas that Mitt is truly a no show.

Cudos to Huntsman, I think he would have been better at creating jobs and having the two parties work together. Mitt has worked for years to alienate the Dems no matter if their ideas had merit or not. Is that the price you have to pay to become the candidate?

Seems the country will have 4 more years of anarchy no matter who gets elected.

Mitt simply decided, quite rightly, to avoid Jon's Ken and Barbie show.

"These are just a few of the areas that Mitt is truly a no show."

When it comes to economics he proved himself when he lead the 2002 Winter Olympics away from disaster and closed the books with money in the bank. There's a reason why the liberals in Washington fear him. He gets things done.
