On Huntsman‘s lack of ’guts’:
I got a word for Jon Huntsman: do something! Quit bitching and lead. You got a Super-Pac. The only way you can win is get a billion dollars from your daddy? Grow up!
He‘s a decent guy but he doesn’t have the guts to stand with me. Let me repeat that: he doesn’t have the guts to do it.
Buddy is getting some earned media for this outburst as his stance is to not accept more than $100 from each donor and nothing from PACs – and all he needs is to persuade a million folks to do such. Louisiana is known for having colorful politicians, and haven spoken to Buddy at length on several occasions, and I would have to say that Buddy certainly fits this adjective well.
By the way, Buddy happens to be at Grokster Mike’s tonite (“Whilst we may have our favorites, we will host any decent candidate, and Gov Roemer is a thoroughly good guy.”). Now that’s something I’d love to hear – Mike speaking with his thoroughly British accent via an LA drawl! Mike sent over the following pixs.
