Huntsman getting some traction in New Hampshire??

Newest New Hampshire poll from Suffolk University out this morning has him third in the race with 13%. Mitt Romney still has an 18% over Newt Gingrich. Some of the independents who can vote in New Hampshire, are apparently supporting Huntsman in the realm that independents supported John McCain against George Bush. (I happened to be one of them who went for McCain).


In my opinion, Newt has peaked in New Hampshire and Huntsman will benefit with more independents and some Romney supporters who may switch because they don't entirely trust Mittens.

Huntsmen's ceiling is more like 8%. As that is the percentage of republicans who are not "bat-shit crazy".

He is the best candidate to win the GE except for the Republican vote.

It's like a political singularity.
