#1 The President of the US is elected on the Tuesday between the 2nd and 8th of November, every 4 years. The primary process, OTOH, is a perverted travesty that should be done away with - or be held exclusively in strip clubs...

#3 "He was ambassador to China for President Barack Obama, but says that shouldn't be used against him as he seeks the Republican presidential nomination."

Oh, yes, it should.

#4 He's inferring that folks in NH are somehow more deserving to pick our leaders.

After that little nugget, the good folks from Iowa might want to show Mr. Huntsman how close you can really get to the front of a John Deere 6620 Combine while it's moving.

#5 "He's inferring that folks in NH"

He's implying, M.R.

One of my pet peeves. :-(

#6 Candidate Obama gamed the Iowa Demcratic caucuses last time around, including locking people out and making older and weaker participants feel threatened if they made the "wrong" choice. Candidate Hucksbee took the Republican caucasees last time around, but little more.

Unfortunately, Mr. Huntsman is correct, for which Iowa should be thoroughly ashamed -- they have fun, but they are ensuring that they do not matter.
