Looks like Huntsman is taking Ron Paul's advice:

Jon Huntsman to quit Republican presidential race

 

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.– Jon Huntsman is dropping out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination and will throw his support to rival Mitt Romney.

A Republican close to the campaign, who spoke on condition of anonymity because Huntsman had not yet made his decision public, told Yahoo News the former Utah governor informed his staff of his decision on Sunday night. He's expected to publicly endorse Romney at a news conference in South Carolina Monday morning.

Huntsman's decision comes just days after he came in a disappointing third place in New Hampshire's Republican presidential primary. The ex-governor, who resigned as President Obama's ambassador to China to run for president, had bet his entire campaign on a good showing in the state, where voters have often looked favorably upon politicians with moderate political views.

But Huntsman failed to catch fire, in spite of early media buzz about his candidacy. He continued campaigning in South Carolina as late as Sunday afternoon, where his campaign touted a high-profile endorsement from The State, one of the state's most prominent newspapers. The publication praised Huntsman as a candidate who could unite the country.

Huntsman's decision to back Romney isn't surprising, given that the two agree more than they disagree. But they have also long been considered "frenemies," with a relationship complicated by similar political trajectories and a long history of competition between their families.

The immediate impact of Huntsman's exit from the race is unclear. He's lingered near the bottom of most national polls for months, and there's no sign that he's gained support in South Carolina, Florida or any upcoming primary states. Yet, Romney's campaign is likely to cite Huntsman's endorsement as yet another sign of the party uniting behind the former Massachusetts governor's candidacy.

Welcome to the new and progressive USA. The parties will win and you are given a false choice. You silly conservatives and Libertarians have a choice Obama and any one but Obama.

You can't vote for Ron Paul because no one will vote for Ron Paul and you waste your vote. Hell I may just vote for Ron Paul and hope he does great and watch the PTBs heads explode!  Hell that alone is worth my vote.

Vote for Romney who lost to McCain  in 2008 who is a Wall St., Mass. Cape codder and a compassionate conservative just like GW. and George the first . Hell what's not to vote for? ……He's got great hair!!!

The only platform I've seen from Romney is he is not Obama. and he goes to his church a bit more often.

The political Dream Team

1. President:Ron Paul (Actually I like his boy Rand but he's not running)
2. VP: Gingrich let him be the nasty Bull dog but SS keep Paul safe and healthy!
3. Sec. of State Bolton
4. Sec. of Defense Alan West
5. Sec of Treasury: Michele Bachman, Rand Paul or Paul Ryan  (Yes, I want to see heads explode) 
6. I'm not sure where to put Sarah Palin?  DOJ, EPA or DHS. I'm thinking EPA would be fun.
7. Condi Rice  DOJ Atty General
8. Next supreme court justice Andrew Neapolitano
9. Press secretary John Stosel or Glenn Beck: Let's have some fun! 

All I can think of off the top of my head but since the PTBs won't let anything change the status quo. Heck they have fantasy football teams. Why not fantasy political teams?
I'm sure you all can come up with a complete list that would be a good team. We may not agree on all of the choices but I bet we would agree on 2/3'rds of the choices.

It may be completely insane but at least it would be entertaining wich is more than I've gotten from the last few Adminstrations!
