Huntsman drops out, backs Romney
Huntsman’s campaign struggled to gain ground, but he had a few fans based on the comments we’ve seen. iReporter Egberto Willies of Kingwood, Texas, shared a video commentary in which he said he thought Huntsman was one of the only GOP candidates who had a chance at beating President Obama in the upcoming race.
"I think as being the most sensible and honest presidential candidate running, he would have been the only one to make the election interesting enough. He was the only one who could have beat President Obama. When the team from President Obama is done exposing all the inconsistencies and all the fallacies on the other side, I think it’s going to be a rather easy election."
