Jon Huntsman got an important endorsement in New Hampshire, from the small but still influential newspaper, the Concord Monitor. Huntsman has been trailing in the polls and has spent much of his time campaigning in the state. In an editorial, the paper wrote that âthe choice of Huntsman should be clear ⊠Huntsman, a consistent but never doctrinaire conservative, would present the greatest challenge to Obama.â While itâs a big win for Huntsmanâthe Monitor covers the state capitalâit still probably wonât be as influential the more conservative paper, the Union Leaderâs, endorsement of Gingrich in November. But it wasnât all good news for Huntsman on Friday, as he failed to qualify for the Virginia Super Tuesday primary. Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum also did not qualify, all three did not submit enough signatures by the Thursday-night deadline.
