I’m really warming up to Huntsman….
Is He Even Trying? Huntsman Seems Determined To Alienate the GOP Base
After a tweet suggesting the “call me crazy” line had attracted “lots of new followers,” Huntsman wrote, “I wonder if a tweet where I admit how much I like Captain Beefheart will make the followers skyrocket even more!” He then linked to a youtube video of “The Cap and his Magic Band playing their oh-so-conventional sound to a bunch of hip crowd members on a beach.” It seems a curiously inapt metaphor for his campaign.
On Friday Huntsman tapped into the anti-Tea Party story of the day once again, by referencing the flame-out former Delaware Senate candidate, Christine O’Donnell. She, of course, had stormed off the set of a Piers Morgan interview on Wednesday night, after taking umbrage to Morgan’s line of questioning.
Talking Points Memo on FacebookHuntsman, flagging that he too would be appearing on the show, sent out a tweet reading: @PiersMorgan - Looking forward to being on Monday’s show. Will try and have as much fun as @ChristineOD did”
