Huntsman campaign nearly broke as GOP campaign heats up

Posted by

CNN Political Reporter Peter Hamby

(CNN) - Jon Huntsman's presidential campaign is verging on broke after burning through more than $4 million since the former Utah governor entered the race for the Republican nomination in June.

The Huntsman campaign, which re-trenched last month by laying off staff and moving its national quarters to the must-win primary state of New Hampshire, finished the third fundraising quarter in September with just $327,000 in the bank and $890,000 in debt.

Since joining the race on June 21, Huntsman raised $2.26 million and contributed $2.25 million of his own money to the campaign for a total $4.51 million.

10. Did he really seem decent? Seriously?

Abortion: supports a constitutional amendment criminalizing women's reproductive health care.
Debt hawk: more cuts for programs that help the 99%, more cuts in taxes for the 1%.
Gay rights: second class rights for gays.
Regulation: end the "EPA reign of terror" - seriously.
Death penalty: yes of course.
Prohibition: more!
Education: vouchers and the full rightwing campaign to abolish and privatize public education.
Free Trade: More!
-7 so far.

Energy: claims to support renewable energy and getting off of oil.
+1

Funny how the media portrayed him as the decent sensible republican - but when one actually looks at the issues he is just another loon.

8. It's a good thing... he's a sane Republican

and he could have won the election. Thank god insanity is the first requirement for Republican candidacy or Obama could have had a problem. .

9. From all the potential candidates the had Republicans I think

he would have had the best chance of winning.

11. no he wasn't. Total media myth. Vile loon, like the others.

Perhaps one level above the worst of the pack. Right there with mittens on the vile idiocy scale.
