Huntman's incoherent response today when asked about President Obama's 30,000 troop drawdown
And as NBC Producer Erika Angulo reported, Huntsman also responded to questions about President Obama's plan to withdraw 30,000 troops from Afghanistan over the next year.

"The thought that we can draw down totally I think is inconceivable and it's impractical, but leaving behind a force of whatever size, certainly well below what we have today and I think well below what the president has advocated over the next year... I think it's what we want ultimately, but we're not there yet. And I don't believe we're going to be there a year from now."

2. Don't worry.
The media will clean it up and it will sound nothing like he verbalized.

4. He really should pick Palin as VP nominee. The two of them would make sense only to each other.

9. I wouldn't spend a second worrying about this guy
If you're a Repuke, why settle for "Mitt Romney Lite" when you can choose the real thing?
