Huntsman Out

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Jon Huntsman leaving the race will give Romney more support, for Huntsman's moderate followers will go to the next most liberal candidate: Mitt Romney.

Is Perry the next to drop out? Will the conservative support rally around one candidate?

We are only two states into the race. The fight is far from being over.

South Carolina is next, but Romney is leading in the polls.

But, nobody expected the rise of Santorum for the Iowa Caucuses.  Will we see a surprise in South Carolina?

We are less than a week away.

Personally, I think Huntsman got into the race because the media had touted him early on as a "real" potential candidate. He was wrong, and so was the media.
