Former presidential candidate Jon Huntsman announced Friday that he plans to stay home in protest.
"I will not be attending this year's convention, nor any Republican convention in the future, until the party focuses on a bigger, bolder, more confident future for the United Statesa future based on problem solving, inclusiveness, and a willingness to address the trust deficit, which is every bit as corrosive as our fiscal and economic deficits," Huntsman said, according to The Salt Lake Tribune. Huntsman had released his delegates to Mitt Romney and is no longer actively seeking office. But active candidates are making the same decision.
The campaign for Connecticut Senate candidate Linda McMahon confirmed Thursday that if the former World Wrestling Entertainment executive wins the Republican Senate nomination Aug. 14, she won't be helping to formally nominate Mitt Romney. "Our focus is going to be on campaigning in Connecticut," McMahon campaign spokeswoman Kate Duffy first told The Connecticut Mirror.
McMahon, who unsuccessfully ran for Senate in 2010, is likely to face criticism similar to that being lobbed at Democratsthat she is skipping the convention to distance herself from her party. McMahon's campaign didn't immediately respond to Yahoo News' request for comment Friday.

If that was the kind of candidate Republicans would nominate this would be a very different world.

Would it matter? Wouldn't you RATHER have somebody like Huntsman in the race right now, than Mittens?
The fact is, Obama could lose. I'd be much happier seeing him lose to someone like Huntsman than Romney.

No it wouldnt. He is Obama lite.

By the way I never cared for politicians that throw tantrums because they lose. At least the dems that are avoiding the DNC convention are doing it for self preservation reasons. Huntsman is just being a poor sport. Fuckem
Obama's campaign jump-started with "Wah, Bush left me a bad deal" bs, which is a likely good enough reason for other voters who realize that after 4 years, Obama just couldn't deal with that "bad deal" he alleges against someone else.Jon Huntsman, Linda McMahon among Republicans planning to skip GOP convention

The GOP are so stupid that if they actually nominated a "real" Reagan conservative like Huntsman, it would have been game over for Obama a long time ago.
Luckily the GOP is low on braincells and nominated an idiot like Willard
Despite the dominance of economic issues in the presidential race, Americans are evenly split over whether the man living in the White House in 2013 will bring significant change to the overall economy.
A majority of those surveyed — 55 percent — say the winner will have from "just some impact" to "no impact" on the nation's huge budget deficits.
Those with little confidence that the winner can fix things are also more pessimistic overall — just 32 percent of them think the economy will improve in the coming year. In contrast, among those who expect a substantial impact from the winner, almost half think the economy will get better.
Republicans are more likely than Democrats to predict that the winner's imprint will be felt: 58 percent say the election's outcome will affect the economy overall. Yet fewer than half of Republicans foresee much impact on joblessness.
That's two R that found fault with Huntsman. Why? What is wrong with this statement.

Nothing is wrong with that statement. Its the motive behind the statement that is suspect.
To what office are either of those losers elected?
So far, not attending the DNC:
Rep. Bill Owens, NY.
Rep. Kathy Hochul, NY.
Rep. Nick Rahall, WV.
Rep. Mark Critz, PA.
Rep. Jim Matheson, UT.
Sen. Joe Manchin, WV.
Sen. Jon Tester, MT.
Sen. Claire McCaskill, MO.
Sec o' State Hillary Clinton.
Y'all keep on whistling past the graveyard...
