While the rest of the political world has their laser like focus beamed on Iowa one candidate, coincidentally the candidate with no chance to win and the one candidate we are all better off for his non-winning abilities, Jon Huntsman,
Dateline Washington and thanks to the (AP) - Former U.S. Ambassador Jon Huntsman is defending his refusal to compete in the leadoff Iowa Republican precinct caucuses, focusing instead on New Hampshire.
Huntsman tells CBS's "The Early Show" the formula, so far as he is concerned, is quite elementary. Says Huntsman: "They pick corn in Iowa. They actually pick presidents here in New Hampshire."
The former Utah governor has made little effort to win in Iowa, focusing mostly on New Hampshire in the early going. He has remained in the lower tier of candidates as others, including Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum _ and at one time, Herman Cain _ soared in the polls. He was ambassador to China for President Barack Obama, but says that shouldn't be used against him as he seeks the Republican presidential nomination.
