And then there were 5. How many were there?

So even after posting a 3rd place in New Hampshire, Huntsman is said to be bowing out of the presidential race today. Really, you mean UTAH will not yet have its first president?

Meanwhile Santorum is telling South Carolina that Romney can't beat Obama. And Tricky Rick can?? He couldn't even beat Casey Junior.

But this is a different year and now Ricky Tricky Havey one percenter has a national platform to tout his ultraconservatism. He doesn't look so plastic Stretch Armstrongy at times, but when you stop to listen to what he's actually saying most people in their right mind should start to cringe, perhaps even puke.

What will Huntsman say, bipartisanship is dead, you want even work with the other party to make the word a better place, talk to Tricky Rick and you'll find this to be true. This from Reuters.
