Huntsman's New Hampshire Gamble (Taegan Goddard's Political Wire)

Jon Huntsman has publicly declared that he won't compete in the Iowa caucuses and now he seems on course to scuttle his bid at the New Hampshire primary as well, according to Politico. "Huntsman's decision to skip the first New Hampshire presidential debate on Monday has Republicans in the state confused -- and predicting that he'll suffer politically for it... Huntsman's aides say the decision not to participate was simple: He's not yet a declared candidate... The other argument: It's a long campaign, and many voters still aren't tuned in... But the media are already paying attention -- and by skipping an event sponsored by state ABC affiliate WMUR and, more critically, the Union Leader newspaper -- Huntsman could risk angering the paper's powerful publisher, Joe McQuaid, and the paper's editorial page editor, Andrew Cline."
