Republican presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman has announced he will boycott Tuesday night’s GOP debate which will be held in Las Vegas and will air on CNN.
Huntsman and a number of other candidates are miffed with Nevada for scheduling their caucuses earlier than the New Hampshire Primary. Of course, this is a byproduct of Florida moving its primary from March to the end of January.
Whatever Huntsman’s reasons, I am glad he won’t be participating. His snarky disposition and awkward jokes adds precious little to the debate. Huntsman’s absence will not be lamented.

Huntsman, Paul,Johnson should all drop out now.
Add Santorum to that list.
To be fair though, Ron Paul is a loon, and has no chance of winning, but some polls show him above 5% so technically he should be allowed to stay in. And his followers provide some comic relief.

Romney, Cain and Perry should drop out they have no chance of being elected. They remind me of Guilanni, Thompson and Huckabee in the last election cycle.

Who cares what Jon Huntsman does or when????
Here we have a previous Democrat, that changed his affiliation to Republican so he can run for the White House in 2012, when all he is out to do is siphon votes away from viable candidates.What a joke Jon is, he is worse then Joe Biden.
Rogue Elephant| 10.14.11 @ 1:59PM
Huntsman? The media darling?
He will be inconspicuous by his absence.
Casey Abell| 10.14.11 @ 2:05PM
I'm boycotting the debate, too.
Okay, I wasn't invited. But you'll see, I'll be missed every bit as much as Huntsman.
Dixie Pixie| 10.14.11 @ 2:21PM
It looks like Huntsman is preparing to drop out of the race.
This is a blow to the conservatives as Romney, Perry Pawlenty and Huntsman are all trying to mine the RINO, Independent, MSM and Conservative Democrat votes.
If Huntsman drops out then there is only Romney and Perry to split that vote.
With the Conservative side of the party split and the RINO side of the party consolidated on Mittens Romney, Romney could build up an unstoppable lead in delegates since the primary schedule is tilted to the selection of a left-wing candidate in the early primaries.
PattyMor| 10.14.11 @ 4:40PM
Who will notice that Jon Huntsman isn't there? No one. Just another blow-dryed, RINO Republican with a boatload of money. We already have Romney there representing that branch of the Rat Party.

What is this? The debate of the week club!
What if they held a debate and no one showed up? Worse yet, what if they held a debate and no one turned on their TV set and watched it?

That's right. Best to keep the debates completely brain-free.

Stefan:
Heard this one years ago. "Don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya." Huntsman is a nonentity and his absence will be irrelevant.
